The Unheard Voice

You run away from my greens but,
ready to shove yourself a pit

You crib upon my taste but,
ready to swallow these distasteful pills

Your smile falls apart on seeing me but,
it's better to gulp me than being held a hostage in unknown hospital

You have me, yet you don't value me while,the one who values me can't own me

You talk about me to your dear ones but,
never looked into what I am best at

You pretend to gauge me but,
let yourself to confine in a tombstone

You trash me to the ground, yet I stand still in the string winds, to the ones who need me

I might not be your favourite platter but,
can definitely save you from Yama's yearning hunger
