Trapped
Not knowing what is going to happen.
The silence comforts me
as I see past those,
long, distant days of my life.
Those moods, those times,
the joy and the pain,
Hand in hand as they come again
to my memories and to my mind.
I feel cold and deprived
as if i had lost something,
valuable and treasured
an essential part of mine.
struggling in my dark dreams
trapped in my nightmares
alone in my reveries,
What would’nt I do to share?
Yet, I cherish them
nurture and store them
as my own precious pearls.
Little do i hope that
a friend of life
may come to shine
their effulgent light.
Darkness is secure,
Silence is safe
In its wombs,
I lay my head
and sleep oblivious to pain.
wishing i could escape
from my thoughts
of chaos, noise and strife.
But i know there’ll be
No Escape this time
I know I am trapped
till the end of time
The word ‘Trapped’ is not appropriate amongst ‘friends & even ‘enemies’, one must give full support 2 a friend in ‘bad’ phase of #Life , as should be doing 2 #Enemies, who would befriend
you tomorrow, after knowing how ‘cultured’ you are …….
i remember a song: “Abhi na jaaoo choodke, aabhi tou #dil bharra nahin” ……….
i put it in this way : to those, to whom, who ‘r’ on the other side of the fence, this word ‘trapped’ suits, if i were them, i would have preferred to find a solution & extended all support,
instead of making a mockery of ‘trapped’ ………
since there ‘r’ huge genuine ‘challenges’ to overcome, its better to maintain ‘calm’ & ‘silence’
which will ultimate find a peaceful #solution , that would bind ‘friends & enemies’ together
in our past, present & future ……..

Well said Chandra and thanks for ur perspective. I would say that my poems are generally reflective of my thoughts and feelings and are just to share my feelings. I really cant behave like u or anybody else. We have our individual ways of dealing with problems. There is no good or bad way but the way you choose is to be appropriate to you and you should feel comfortable with it. Trapped is how i feel when i am unable to find solutions to my confusions and difficulties and liberated is how i would feel when i am able to solve. Probably because i am an introvert and harbour a lot of feelings inside, I consider the term appropriate for me. but probably for others, it may not be appropriate.
What i could understand & gather from what ‘transpired’ , should be taken on a ‘lighter side’,
i am equally ‘sorry’ for taking the word #Trapped on its face value & not knowing that it was
meant purely to #SmartBilli ……..
I did know that , it directs towards the feelings of ‘commoners’, be it ‘introvert’ or ‘extrovert’ &
at times we all come across this kind of a ‘situation’, were we are surrounded by ‘confusion’ &
difficulties . That is why, i proposed #Trapped to be treated as both an ‘enemy’ as well as
‘friends’ & i havent misjudged it at all, because i do not recommend to ‘aggravate’ someones
‘feelings’ trapped inside . So , in order to ‘liberate’ i preferred to ‘dilute’ it completely, with a
song not meant for #SmartBilli, as mentioned above , also concluding with another ‘song’
not for U : “Kabhi alvida na kehna , kabhi ….” …. on a ‘lighter note’ ……

Trapped in thought
About the wars fought
About the battle won
Some sad and some fun
Silence raids you
When heart beats a few
Silence haunts more
For moments no more
Know my little bird
When single or in herd
God shines his light
Be it day or night
Keep the faith in Him
Never let it go dim
He guides you always
In known and unknown ways ….
God bless you …
