Alone in my room

a poem by Mithun Shankar

If these walls could talk…
you’d know about my fears
about my fallen tears.
You’d know about all those days
I screamed with pain in jarring ways.
You’d know that there’s no one close
I am all alone and no one knows
if only… these walls could talk…

If these walls could talk…
you’d know about my dreams
about my broken schemes.
You’d know about those thoughts rambling
in pursuit of something big, but stumbling.
You’d know I’m in gloom and no one cares
I need you, I need someone to be close
if only… these walls could talk…
