I

I am the circle in the square The tree in the leaf I am the smile in the tear And I am the useful in the heap The heap of wastes which is thrown away Away by those who don't care Care to even look at me stuck Deep within there I am skeptical I am jealous I am lonely But I am fearless Brave enough to say I lie And I lie to see that others Are not bothered to care Care about the real person That is I I say I am good Good in ways which world doesn't want me to be Good in ways where people mock At the very sight of me I , as a human Graced by the heaven Live and let live I within me - Saswati Barat 9:21 PM 22nd Jan 2010

A tale of a woman

The peace I search Of mind and soul The peace of being alone Born to be beaten Crushed at the feet Dropped out of school And then sold away with relief A burden of a daughter A sister And a wife I learn I live I learn to live And live to let others live too My powers they say Are of no use Except of mane if any I produce Give me a chance Let me fight too Let me be free Free from the wisdoms Stitched by thee Some peace of mind And peace of soul My body my womb I can console I am not born to listen Their yes or no I am not bound to sit When the heads nod and go I shall not follow What my mother has been In laws too Are not to be rhymed I can find myself Amongst the crowd of many Let me fly too With my own grown wings - Saswati Barat
