Reena’s Exploration Challenge #170

PROMPT #170

Thousands of whys

crowding in my head

why I was born

what is the purpose of life

etc.etc.
no satisfying answers

now stopped asking

thought why not

quit asking others

unlearn all the rubbish fed to youand

ask your inner self

get the answers

right or wrong

they will be your  answers

meanwhile

life is all

about

dreaming

setting goals

and

creating purpose for living

न होते हम तो
कौन करता परवाह तुम्हारी
कौन करता तुमसे प्यार इतना

था कौन भला
जो सुनता सभी बातें तुम्हारी
किसपर था तुम्हें अधिकार इतना

सिखाई हमने
तुम्हें प्यार की क़ीमत
क्यों महँगा पड़ा न इज़हार इतना

होकर रुसवा भी
रखोगे मेरे राज़ सभी महफूज़
क्यों करती हूँ तुमपर ऐतबार इतना

My Submission:

You used to be beautiful.

You would kiss me when you came home, or at least acknowledge me. Now, you dart to your computer to find out how many new likes you received.

I try to hug you from behind, but you shake me off.

I bring you tea, and instead of a thank you, I get a grunt and flick of your chin, indicating you want me to go away…
