The Storm Within Me

Radha Jha

As if my brain is going to bleed,
And my nerves will burn by the fire in it,
There is no peace in me,
Though I am in a place where there is no crowd of humans,
But the crowd of thoughts and aggression is killing me,
Burning me with cold situation and
I am frozen with the burning words in my head.
I am tired but I can’t stop.
I am active but I can’t work.
Only if I could snatch all my skin,
And cry all my tears
If only I could give all my voice to the air.
The world around me is so anonymous.
And the world within me is still a stranger.
