Against the bitterness

 As you grow


You hurt people 

And you are hurt by them


They don’t intend 

To hurt


Neither do you


It’s just about

Self protection 


Which I don’t forgive

Neither to myself

Obviously, nor to others


And the 

Dragons of life

Are sniffing behind my back


Close the doors

Make the walls 

Isolate 

Annihilate 


Yet,

In my solitude


I see the innocent being 

The child who wants to play and dance 

And I see the same in others too


I stand up

Look deep in the eyes

Bone deep 


And say hi to the child

In you 


From the child

In me
