No wonder nobody likes you,
You are too stubborn,
You are headstrong and rude,
Too tough even to feel pain, They said.

Right, I scoffed at those fools,
They never wanted to hear my words,
They never spared a glace on my tears,
That's how my tears dried up and my words got stuck in my throat forever.

I longed to let them out ,
I wanted to be free for a while,
smile and sunk in the safety of my
loved ones, smile to my heart's content.

But, I was left in the dark,
My tears met with mokings,
relentless taunts, and ridiculed,
They wounded my soul without knives.

Thus, my 'Walls 'started building up,
Placing rage and persistence,
I built them even higher,
They hide my tears, hide my fears,
Atleast it still preserved my light from this dark world!
