Lay down the fears…

a poem by Shweta Bashani

It’s very difficult for me
   to lay down the fears…
I have promised everybody
   I’ll shed no more tears…
But an emptiness keeps
   seeping down in my body…
A feeling unknown,
   that there is nobody…
Nobody to care for,
   nobody who will care…
Nobody who will push me
   every time to dare…
God you were never
   this cruel and this bad…
You took away my treasure,
   the only thing I had…
What has happened to
   my joys and my smile…
Living in this world
   is no more worthwhile…
