You are not alone here
You are surrounded by million voyeur eyes
looking for the next big piece of news
waiting for the next viral tweet
wanting to go live on Facebook
to chat and comment about it
You are surrounded by eyes not hands
hands which can help you, support you
and pull you up, when you need the most
You are surrounded by million eyes
waiting to strip you down
waiting to rip you apart
You are never alone
You are surrounded by lustful eyes
waiting for something shameful to happen
waiting to be part of the big news in a menial way
You are never alone
You are always surrounded by million eyes
eyes they say are the mirror to your soul
eyes which are left hanging now
from the sockets of a soulless body
Body which doesn’t feel any pain any compassion
It just wants to be ripped apart
Decked up in false pretenses
You are never alone
You are surrounded by million eyes.
A million soulless eyes.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

Thanks, Patty. I wrote this last year about a molestation case which happened in broad daylight.This was before I started the blog.

That’s horrible! :(. I loved the poem, though. As writers, we draw upon our experiences both good and bad. So sorry about the molestation case. Love the way you conveyed your feelings about such a horrid event. You have a gift!

Thanks Patty.That case created an uproar about women safety but everything becomes to normal after a while.I guess unless the fellow citizens are not helpful of each other police can’t help much.

Thanks for the appreciation but this is the ugly face of our society. More voyeurs than helpers.

Chilling to think of actually. We are all so exposed; at times wanting to be seen. Thank you for your poignant words Megha – you have me in a serious frame of mind… x

It is indeed a bitter reality that at every step we take, there are so many people ready to mock at us, condemn us and pass an opinion which we didn’t even ask for.

We are always surrounded by thorns. Its totally upto us to blossom. Thorns are mostly similar in every plant, its the flower which has its own identity.
A great concept, very nicely penned.
