It is a cold winter morning,
I love to sleep cozy in my bedding
there is a strong knock on my door
I get angry and want to throw everything on floor
Mamma why have she to come so early
I asked my mom, angry and still sleepy
irritated I cover my self in quilt
Make myself cozy and sleep still
I woke after half an hour later
yet irritated by the noise she create
Anger in me go up seeing a messy her,
Dirty clothes and no slipper on her leg
This is the morning view I get,
I give her angry glare and say
Press my cloth and pack my lunch
I need to leave for school and don't have time much
What I never realize is this girl
10 yrs old, 2yrs younger to me
walks in winter morning
with messy cloth and leg so bare
Does she not deserve to go to school
does she not deserve to sleepin morning
does she not deserve to keep her bare leg covered
And above all does she not deserve to preserve this childhood
**************************
I have always feared the darkness
Yet I have always embraced this darkness
Though no hope of light anywhere
Yet I feel safe in this darkness
There is no air for me to breathe
I feel suffocated unable to breathe
There is no hope of air anywhere
Yet this suffocation let me breathe
I dare not break this wall
The wall of dark and suffocation
I dare not go to feel the light
I dare not go breathe the air
The world outside is a jungle for me
Where humans wait in face of animals wild
Hungry and wild animals they are
Waiting for me as a prey of theirs
I come out and they feed on me.
I know the room you are in is dark,
The air in it suffocates you
But as you are alive there
Then believe in a small hole there
The hole in it, yes the hole in it
This room has small hole in it
The hole of small light and air
A hole of hope, yes it is there
Don't lose hope, don't lose hope
Find the hole of your hope
In this very dark room, find the hole of your hope
Catch the ray of hope, the light from that hole
There you will find me with my hands stretched,
Stretch your hands with this small hole
My hands are stretched to catch your hands stretched
Suffocation and darkness will go,
When from hole of hope, your hands are stretched.
