Far away from me
Some days I come home, tired
Deceived by my brother and many others
I change my clothes and I sit besides the window
I watch little kids playing hide n seek
I can hear their innocent screams
They could easily put me to sleep
I see a woman carrying
Heavy bags of groceries
Her little girl crying
As if she was trying
To erase her mother’s pain
All she wanted was to help
To carry those heavy bags
To hold her set of keys
She wanted to open the door
She wanted to do it all on her own
What happened to us in the midst?
How did we manage to remove?
That part of a human bliss
Who taught us to lie?
Who asked us to beg?
Who forced us to die?
I need that child
That was born within me
I need those floods of tears
That drained through my cheeks
For things so minuscule and bleak
I want to play hide n seek
I need to hide away from me
On some far away land
Oceans away from a human hand
