In my world of calm acceptance <br />of all wrong and misery <br />arrive a few words. <br />They taunt me, question me, <br />my passiveness. <br />Oh go away, you give me hope; <br />you bring light, <br />and sweetness. <br />They brush only my surface, <br />but how it burns. <br />You say there are better things, <br />that my mistakes can be overcome. <br />That i can love without <br />the knowledge of hurt. <br />Go away, let me respect you. <br />dont show me dreams of hope <br />my soul is too weak <br />to face another.<br /><br />arundhati sinha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-defenses/
