PURE AGONY

winter sun hidden in mist and haze

my worst emotions want to explode

in a fit of rage, I want to shout

what the hell is this pity all about?

 

about the story repeated hundred times

a black eye, six stitches and an unwashed head

about the painless smiles springing with faint hope

that the shocking news my mom should be able to cope

 

the first chord of love that tightly binds

but the rebel in me at times twists and unwinds

did she bear me to make herself cry?

for even a pinch,

her tears make me feel as if I am going to die.

 

 what I think might not be important

yet, pity the worst emotion in man is termed a virtue

simply 'cause it does not belong to beasts and statue.
