LOVE AND POETRY

The mantra of life is
that life is a bitch.
A impractical fool like me
refused to accept this
for a long, long time.
But my obstinacy was useless.

Life has taught me to accept it.
I had protested
to myself
as there was no one else to listen.

I do not hate myself
but why am I
like this?
I had thought that
I had got a raw deal.
That it was unfair
what had happened to me.
That justice would come come one day.

But it never came.
The world moved on.
I understood that
no one cared a damn.
I recollected then the saying
"if there is nothing you can do
when getting raped
then lie back and enjoy it".

Life is a bitch.
But it hurts me
to accept the fact.
So I write these lines
not because I hope that
someone will read and understand
but because it helps me
release the poison that is inside me.
