Being Human, Being Us: A Short Poem

By: Madhabi Deuri

​Blasphemy of emotions
A sudden realization
Innocent actions
Guileful thoughts
Waves of worry
Finite decisions
Tinted cheeks
Thin boundaries
Fading hope
Oblivious lies
Approaching darkness
Soft cries
Sneaky smiles
Salty tears
Breaking points
Joyous me
Broken you
Beautiful you
Scarred me
Alive
Dying
Us
