The unheard and the unseen

When I was a child,
First word that I spoke made others smile

Even when I couldn't speak...
Everything was conveyed by my cry

When I went to school,
I passed every test...

At that moment,
I felt I am the best

The world seemed to revolve around me
But then... my world was small

I felt I have achieved all!

Now, my world has broaden itself...
I have discovered my two selves

The world within me has made an outer shell

It is my own self which has become a part of the society
It is my own self which follows each and every conventionality

But something inside shouts at me
It wants to breakthrough and discover the real me

But my ears can't listen to this sound
They are just concerned about the world around

My eyes can't see this pain
Their attempt is in vain

A cry during my childhood conveyed it all
But now it is a cry of my fall

I want to listen to myself again..
I want to hear myself...
I want to see the real me...

I want to pass every test again
I want my cry to be heard again

I want to be a child again
Because then, there will be no pain
