Numb

Unlike waves,

My life never rose again after it crashed down.

Coiled up in the corner of the dingy room,

I stare at my surrounding.

A rodent sniffs my flesh,

Wondering what is the difference between me and rest of the inanimate garbage.

Frustrated and mad,

I was no less than a wild animal.

Manhandled and assaulted by Fate,

I endured it all till the threshold level.

Broken and numb at heart,

I ran away.

Lying here in the midst of trash,

I can see through my discarded life.

Having hurt my loved ones with my venomous words,

I let the Guilt to punish my heart.

Scared to close my eyes,

I lack the courage to confront the images of my distraught parents.

Hoping that this is my last prayer,

I ask Him to whisper my message to my mummy and papa-“I love you”.
