Persuasive.

Assalamualaikum.

a medium-length babble, as it kept on floating in my mind. and so i hope i can sink it in this piece of page. and this has nothing to do with the living or non-living. especially cats. (?!)

when you are supposed to shut your mouth,
i could hear you cry out loud across the globe.
should have make you listened,
but you act like you were born dumb.
try to show you how lovely our world is,
but you make yourself blindfolded.
when you try to forget,
it kept on pestering your mind every single hour.
when you are told to vanish into thin air,
you keep on reappearing without shame.
the opportunity of being heard was given,
but you kept on being silent.
when being asked to understand,
you narrowed your mind and believe in what you wanted to.
'solve the problem' it said,
but you made up more problems of your own.
advices of 'move on' played in the head repeatedly,
but you kept on standing at the same old spot.
they say 'stop',
but you kept on running.
'throw it away!' i shouted at you at that one time,
but you still kept it locked somewhere deep in the chest.
everyone kept on pressing you to give up,
but you still wanted to find your way back on your feet.
i try so hard to find chances in one of the silver lining,
but when i turn, you said 'i'm tired'.
when things are supposed to be enough,
you asked for more.
you searched high and low for the things that were gone,
for that, you are forbid to see things around you.
they told you the truth,
and you accused them of lying and treachery.
you incorrectly do ordinary things,
and lead yourself to a wrong life.

when i live, you live,
when i fly, you fly,
when i fall, you fall,
when i die, i die alone.

because you kept on persuading me,
having no self-esteem of your own.
