16 years seems like I lived for 16 thousand years and
I’m not great fan of living now.

I’m not thinking for myself.

I’m freaked that I knew the truth

but I lied to my heart.

I’m unabashed,

due to which I can’t defend

my present from my past.

World is on moon and I’m still in dark caves.

This new year will take everyone

to the new world but I deny because

I like to be in stone age.

This is moment of love,kiss,cry,

rights,wrong and laughter

will change accordingly

pessimism turning into optimism,

wickedness into pleasantry,

Frown into grin,

Enmity into love,

Bites into kisses,

but I won’t change myself,

I won’t change my life,

as I’m fond of living in this dark house.

Dreamt of few eyes,

Desired for some faces,

and I affronted by disloyal branches

of vicious trees.

All problems I found in my lap,

I figured out the solutions but they were incomplete.

This is never ending story,

My world out of glory,

I lost my luck,

I lost myself,

These hopes are ever green but

I’m afraid to bring revolution in me.

  • J L Carey Jr on Jan 29, 2012

    This poem got me thinking of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” The actual story of the cave can be read in Plato’s “The Republic”. Love the pics again too. &)

    You can’t live in the past it’s not healthy.

  • AmosTheCat on Jan 29, 2012

    There was a time, when I was a child, when both my parents had died and I was sent away to live on a farm. I was content to live with the cattle because I did not want to participate in human affairs. I wanted to wallow in my own grief. The cows were at peace and welcomed me. They were a great comfort to me. But then, my uncle, the farmer, died in his sleep and after year my Aunt remarried. The cattle were slaughtered and the farm dissolved before my very eyes. My much older brother took me to his house where I lived in the basement and tried to stay away from hie wife who did not want me there. I still wallowed in my grief and waited for bad to become good. But, by and by, the grief became mud and I was still alive, wallowing in the mud. I had lost some years there while I wallowed and I had become morbid and morose. I soon learned that the world not care if it lost a child, now a young man. I did not like the mod anymore. Mud was not what my parents expected of me. Mud was not what I expected of myself. I wanted the grass and the sky where, as Angelji says, ” the birds are flying freely and happy”. It all took time and some pain but the mud washed off and the sun warmed my skin and the grass felt good under my feet. It was not so much a revolution as it was an evolution to some thing not controlled by the past. The dead past buried it’s dead.

  • Redfiery on Jan 30, 2012

    this takes me back 10 yrs from now…when i was 16, I am 26 now and i use to feel the same, lonely, betrayed and sometimes hopeless….my feelings today @ 26 is no different from ten yrs back ..the only one difference today i feel is getting used to these kind of feelings….this is perhaps making me stronger or may be killing me from inside, never mind my dear sweet poetess, the life of an artist is like that only…u painted very well ur feelings…aah my feelings too

  • realityspeaks on Jan 30, 2012

    Hey Aroosa, there’s always a way out. Being caught in the past is something we cannot help. Leave the past behind. You will find your way.

  • Vinaya says good bye on Jan 30, 2012

    We all face our inner phantoms and feel low at a time, however, we must look at the bright side of the world

  • Martin Kloess on Jan 30, 2012

  • Ruby Hawk on Jan 30, 2012

    Get out of your cave and into the sunshine, You are too young to be sad and gloomy. I know it can b e hard but you have to try.

  • sheilanewton on Jan 30, 2012

    You’re wearing your heart on your sleeve, Aroosa – and that’s a good start to get all of the sadness onto the outside to help make it all go away.
    I hope you’re on the road to happiness now my friend. nice to see a new post from my lovely Aroosa.

  • Ixodoi on Feb 1, 2012

    I remember when I was 16. Life looked so dark. I was sure nothing good will come out of me. But I “Hold on”. And today I have good life & I’m happy. So true – I probably won’t be remember in human history as someone who changes great things – but I enjoy my life – and I try to help & make life better at my small scale.

    So cheer up. We can’t all be everything we want, but it doesn’t mean we can’t try and enjoy the way.

  • girishpuri on Feb 1, 2012

  • pruelpo on Feb 2, 2012

    of course, remembering of the past will help you mend or change what has been wronged. don’t give up. life is always full of drama without them we are not complete. LIVE lively.

  • tonyleather on Feb 2, 2012

    Interesting???

  • Thell Stars on Feb 2, 2012

    great

  • prsol46 on Feb 2, 2012

    This is a very good work but sad. Things will get better and every thing that you go through, you can learn something. Whether we know it or not, there is a lesson in everything no matter how big or small. There is always hope even when we don’t think there could be. Keep your chin up. Things will get better.

  • stonecutter on Feb 3, 2012

    very sad, but interesting piece of work, i have to admit.

    Do not afraid to change yourself, whatever you feel that you need to.

  • T. S. GARP on Mar 28, 2012

    I can relate to this especially when I was age 16, life may not be in your control, and you are not sure where it will take you, seems everybody is out and about having a better time of it, but as time goes on, and you find yourself, stable, and sure, than life moves in a better directions. Good poem with a lot feeling! Like it!

  • VV on Mar 29, 2012
