An evocative protest poem by Sarala, exclusively for Different Truths
Paint me and my sorrow
In black and grey
In your hearts
I live
In the darkness, I cry
I am floating
In dark clouds
Above you
In you, I live
In you, I died
A thousand times
But I am awake
In the dark night
Still feeling the
Pain
Still in tears
I live in
Your hearts
Don’t throw me away
Let me live
In your hearts!
