Unearthed

Redemption a way out for thousands

Arrive in rags they label you one of the peasants

Shine like an emerald you are already a star

Careful not to let them pour on your head stuff as black as tar

They know not what you possess

To them you are nothing but stress

In you there is talent unearthed

Burdens too heavy for one to bear pile on thy shoulders day in and day out

These pains, worries and somber moments leave you rather stout

Fear no longer an option for those with deeds too devious to define

A mouthful of words too bitter to refine

Bile is no longer just the pancreases’ by product

This here is no choir for the choir-master to conduct

In one, there is anger unearthed


Just one being is enough to make you smile

Friends and foes rather similar these days

Very few around you choose to stay, but only one forever stays

That one, is you

A peaceful mind only with peace to share

Don’t give such a stare

In her, there is tons of love unearthed

Her thoughts after much therapy still remain bothered

Her brain cells suffocating as if smothered

Crumpled up fabrics of the heart still not smoothed

Her head droops low most of the time as if seriously troubled

Her presence solely, by many, missed

A troubled mind forces her into meditation still, the details not so detailed

She is a character unearthed
