PAPERS THAT SOAK OUR TEARS.

These eyes...

Defeated by the bars of the society,

Those shortsighted eyes look for the blank space 

on which they can rest their sight.


The people munching on our dreams

And sipping our tears

Don't know much of the world we live in!

Sometimes those eyes do need a hit 

To see where they started and for what.

Maybe the doors of luck are shut now

But will they be forever?

How can those eyes know

Who have only seen themselves from other eyes.


What are these eyes lookin' for ?

Reliability...? Nah

Relatability...? Maybe

Reassurance...? Yes


Those old papers still soak tears and preserve them for a zillion years.

Gonna carve the untold stories on those wet papers

Hoping it won't tear apart,

Until the worse scenarios depart,

Hoping that they will be read by only her,

Until someone worthy enough reads her.
