The imprisoned word

Second hand, minute hand
moved in a rhythm..
Days passed, years passed
the word remained within -
Within the corner of the heart,
Compressed, helpless,
Lacking guts for getting evolved
Stabbing the walls harder..

Overcoming the pain
The lips finally gathered the guts -
The guts to utter the word aloud.
Spreading a wide grin on her face...
Yes, I finally uttered -
Uttered the imprisoned word - "Maa".
