Nistaraka - An Anthology Of Hopes.

Crippled.

ˈkrɪpld
Meaning: Severely damaged
These days I wonder if I am crippled,
It mostly comes to me in shocks,
Don't feel like having a purpose,
Or hanging out with people,
Feels like being antisocial should be my new rad,
They say talking might do me good,
But how do you talk,
When a clear stream of chaos,
Occupies your mind,
Should I fake it till I make it,
Or just lock myself,
Eh, both options seem very me,
Someone called me weak,
But how do you know what weak is,
Is it not being able to tolerate atrocities or a display of an array of emotions,
Aren't we all weak,
Perhaps some more than other,
I laugh as I talk to my crippled soul,
And I laugh when people say I am better,
Maybe they should try being crippled too,
And then we all will know who we are for what we are.
