Need Of The Change

I was Wandering slowly

Clearing bushes and broken pavements

To find the lonely room 

Where I'll echo my thoughts of existence.

I was an invisible human

To every eye 

Because I was shy not for extroverts around

But for lies, I used to surround.

I hated here,

Where the chaos slapped me and said

This isn't the place you belong

And I quickly disappeared.

For me, the silence was a  beautiful symphony

To make me realize, I had my own company 

Everyone saw me as a half-empty glass

So I was silent in class.

Daydreaming and night thinking 

Were two indulgences 

More eventful than a movie

And more cacophonous than an

Altercation.

Anxiety was my favorite flavor 

Which resides in my hood 

And when they look at me 

As if their eyes are undress

I slip a false smile on my lips.

But,

 

Everything has an end 

So my silence

Which was broken by

Seeing my friend get bullied.

Seeing her disheartened

Volcano of my thoughts erupted

So wanted to spell out

Wrong or right.

feeling of queasiness

in the pit of the stomach,

skin flustered, burning hot,

taking a sip of water,

gasping one deep breath.

No that's not me now!

My words were freezing

In Front of the patience fewer people

But I continued,

They could see the pain inside me

Which was coming as melted lava

I spoke about how my friend suffered

She was afraid of the shameless world

Who locked her life 

Soon the gathering connected with my wifi

I gave a pause with my ocean of tears

The sound of applause 

Gave me courage 

I was different

Different from whom people considered invisible.
