Escape


That very voice kept resounding in my head
Echoeing through the midst of thoughts
Scaring away all flashes of courage
Leaving me cold and caught

It took away the zest for things
There --- a manifestation
Like all humanity
That arrogance for justification

A jolly day, that very date
Things went up the peak
Hurtful remarks hurled and said
Whose are they to keep?

Etched out once more
Forgotten but reminded
How to react, remains -- a question
Now time to act, such confusion
