I have a stone

Swati 2000 (Bahadurgarh)



pssst! I have a stone
not in my pocket silly
I have it on my heart !

Submerging in pain
drowning in misery
I wonder how and for what ?

Happening all again
reminding history
with an ending I never want !

When sun goes down
to myself I say
can I restart ?

The strength I gain
throwing stone away
imagine feeling a free heart !

About this poem
