SILENT RECORDER

Hoping to ease my mind

I opened my diary

to pen down my thoughts.

Before writing another page

went through some random pages.

Explores million moments

of waiting, agony and grief.

Page to page full of

mixed up memories of

his insults and rudeness, 

cruelty from his iron hands.

All about the storms we face

All about flash of lightning

occasional softness and smoothness

and about never noticed growing rain drops

at the corners of my eyes.

And it's all about 

how I tried to impress

my need for you,

my reactions for your rudeness

expressions of my frustration

anger for not being reasonable.

What a silent record of life...
