Wretched heart



Severed in the battle of confrontation.
Wounded in the light of reality.
The wretched heart calls it a mayday
For the sun rises in the land of love
Only when a heart is broken.
And so it happens and happens,
Till it becomes a habit

Shot with a sheerness of immoral time
Disabled for the frictionless frontiers
And fathom of the detached tales
The wretched heart calls it a mayday
For the songs of siren sound too harsh
For the veins of a broken soul
Till yes becomes no and no becomes a truth

Finally in the stale wars of wisdom
Only rationale wins a feast.
But what about the wretched heart?
That alarms for a gauze to hide the wound away,
And then no else a way is to be found,
Than to silence the moaning of the void
made by the million pieces of a wretched heart.

About this poem

While writing this poem, I was more than a poet, I was a woman, one in a world full of love, betrayal, injustice. Though, this poem can be interpreted differently, by different readers, the idea that I had while writing it was, to describe what a woman goes through when faced with challenges such as rapes, harassment or simply being broken up from inside.

Shivangi Kumar

I am a writing enthusiast with an inquisitive mind. The arts, especially social sciences, international relations, and public speaking are my areas of interests. However, I feel short of words on how to describe myself, as I am found on a constant journey to learn more and discover myself, especially through my poetry. Every line of any poetry I write, it is with a hope to inspire, help, or influence someone out there. I am a ted talk speaker with a zeal to use my voice for a change and find a purpose in the neurotic world. more…
