Sublimation

a poem by Feroze Varun Gandhi

Only the weak hide their scars
I want you to scar me
And claim me as a pawn
In your greater challenge
I want to erase myself
In your tired cry

I want to be welcomed to the chorus
To step out of my dream
Crowded and lonely like my thoughts
The sky is my weakness
Open and looking in
Away from protection
There is a desperate calm
How do you know
What you know
When you know there’s nothing
