A Victim to Life
by Malini Tarakad Seshu
Why do people hurt?
I don’t think satisfaction can be brought on
By seeing someone in pain.
I’m slowly losing faith in humanity.
We picture ourselves in chains,
We think we’ll never be rescued,
We take drastic steps without much thought,
And affect the hopeful people similar to us.
They repeatedly insult us,
Say things that we end up believing.
If you don’t love yourself, who will?
You don’t need anyone to support you,
You are a pillar of strength,
You cannot be hammered down,
You might not know it, but it’s true.
Maybe, bullying can’t be stopped.
Maybe, they won’t listen.
But maybe, we shouldn’t listen,
We shouldn’t let them affect our perspective,
Our unique perspective
which the world doesn’t understand.
It doesn’t have to understand.
Only we do.
