A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

Different

Normal.., you are right..
You win every fight.
You smirk at other people’s plight.
You talk smart..
Making convoluted gestures.
You paint colors..
Disregarding the theme.
Mark faces on the basis of skin..
Snob around the crowd going thin.
Look up to people who peep through windows..
Childishly defering sorrows.
Acting like the shot dart..
Making the center but torn apart.
Faking heart ache for spectacular’s sake.
You mock wierd..
Laugh smeared.
Your reflection coincide..
With no kingdom pride.
But Normal gets forgotten the moment you leave the stage..
Unheard as soon as you try to leave the cage.
Days are the same..
But your words echo lame.
Promises being bundled into empty carts..
Perhaps the way you end even before it starts.
While Different..
Figures out.
Though mostly in doubt.
Loud noises seems muse..
Doesn’t demand or accuse.
Tried at the least..
So what if loose.
Choose the wrong..
Start again strong.
They snooze..
Doze off.
Stand still..
Wait up.
For almost all the reasons..
Cause being different..
Is you learning..
To canvas out every gradient.
Without giving up silently.
