Feel

I feel like i am breaking,

But i will hold on.

I feel like i am withering,

But i will flower on.

I feel acute anger

But i will smile on.

I feel downright insane

But i will go on.

I feel like i burnt a hole

Right in my heart,

But I will heal on.

I feel like feeling again

But, i don’t know yet,

If i could feel on.

-Subha Ramachandran

Let's Talk

I am in denial ,

Complain,I shall.

Reason the wrong,

demolish the right.

Foul , you cry?

And,

you shall watch.

Born,

To two organs

craving work.

Raised, too,

Replicate, Impersonate

Childhood,

wringing rights,

But,

writing wrongs

Adolescence,

Hush, Stop.

Adulthood,

Proletariat?

Shut up.

Work, You will.

Middle age,

Life,left,incomplete.

Death,

Inhaled my last,

Refused to let the breath 'go'

Stifled,

to sing the silent song.

Old Age?

I never grew old.

-Subha Ramachandran
