Lamenting Voices

A poignant, evocative and inward looking poem by Nikita.

As I woke up today,
to an Alarm Clock,
bustling noise
of the city,
of people running
for work,
of chirping birds
singing and rejoicing.
I heard
something Strange
Voices
that was so familiar
Who was It?
What are they
trying to tell me?
Why do they Cry?
I asked Myself.
When I listened
closely,
patiently,
and lovingly
It was my own
Inner Voices
lamenting,
crying,
withering,
I enquired
What have you lost?
They replied,
“You.”
