A Hole In My Heart
written by: Debadrita Sarkar
I have a hole in my heart,
where a flower blooms everyday,
to solace my soul.
But, once my aunt said
It is hard to breathe sometimes,
right?
and once, my best friend pitied me,
for the disgrace of God,
in my heart.
But, the hole never leaves me,
in spite of all the curses and scars.
Instead, the hole showed me
dreams at night,
explaining and splitting the society
from my own soul.
And when I sit on my bench,
all alone,
the hole in my heart
reflects a new world of songs and poems,
healing tears
recovering life
grasping my soul to be an extraordinary monk,
than to be an ordinary saint of society.
