Why are u amazed to see me
Walking on a tight rope
Swinging between two poles
U look at my feet
Look at my hands
Yes a pole in my hands
Swinging up and down
Trying to balance
Yes,
U can see the resolve on my face
The tight lock of my jaws
And
A thought, a mixture of fear,awe and pity rises in your heart
U missed to see the hunger in my stomach
U failed to see the hope of my ailing mother that is connected to the act.
Oh,
Don't give me that understanding looks
You never have
You never will
I am much beyond your comprehension
Much much beyond.
