Harassed

Dovishka Muskaan Shaib

Smile in your eyes but pain in mine,

How could you do this crime,

Tears grieving cries,

Heart, voice and eyes,

Seeking light and rights,

How could you do this crime,

Yesterday’s smile,

Impaired a piece of my life,

I miss how,

I used to call my mother,

Because you were unkind,

I miss how,

I used to see my mother,

Because you were unkind,

An act that made you smile,

For me was a crime,

Erased my heart, erased my light,

Can it be forgiven, should it be forgiven,

A sentence that resides in my mind,

Yet forgiving this crime,

Is a sin in disguise.

You have one life, be yourself, who knows that you being too much is the light of someone else.
