Note: I am not upset, depressed, sad or suicidal, quite the contrary in fact! I'm very much in my can't-stop-smiling mode and intend to stay in that happy place for sometime now... The inspiration for this poem is something as small and insignificant as a speck of dust (literally!) and not some grave personal tragedy... So, enjoy, i guess..!
The tiny seed of doubt
That makes me hesitant, unsure
The inexplicable wave of jealousy
That makes me restless, insecure
The deep rooted, seething anger
That I keep carefully controlled
The hurt, long forgiven but not forgotten
That’s well hidden, but waiting to unfold
The suppressed scream, quiet shout
The little sliver of regret
The questions to which I find no answers
The little worries that make me fret
Tiny bits of feeling, powerful enough to overwhelm
Unseen, but take form in a tiny tear
That slips out from the corner of my eye
And slowly travels down my cheek
It doesn’t stop till all emotions have run dry
As I weep, I sob, I cry...
