Let me be me



The wound just wouldn't heal
and the stubborn pain refuses to leave
its pierced me deep, tugging at my flesh
but m holding it close, for a false solace.


My eyes are dry
my head is dizzy
and I 've put on a fake smile


I've no sunshine here
no cheer to spread
I sell no dreams of vibrant hues
Would u still want me to stay?


I'm tired of this facade
Can I tear away this mask?
for its hurting me


Can I shed a tear?
for I cant hold it back any longer


Can I not smile
for my lips are sucked dry


Can I be me?
For once, will u pls let me be me????

Wow.. nice cool romantic verses. I guess the person has a good way to explain how much she misses the guy and how much he has taken over the girl? For the wounds she got, when the guy is in her, seems to hurt her so much. She has lost control of her life and now she feels her life has gone for a toss. She thinks she is a vegetable living by the choice of others.

Cool interpretation eh?

Vik Rajagopalan said...

Shady girl!!! ur here! m so glad! so are u out in the open? Or u still maintaining ur anonymity? Can I shout out ur name now?? But trust me, there is a certain thrill in anonymity!U can bare your soul without worrying bout what ppl think. Yeah, its another thing that I get to read them all. But its ME rite?? Lol! I greedily distributed my blog id to one and all. Sometimes I regret it. But then again its wonderful connecting with people! :)

Kelvy said...

neets isnt every human being in some kind of bondage or chains...atleast at some point in life we cant just b ourselves na...once there r kids, most parents forget abt thmselves and adapt their life to give their kids a life and so on...
