Ten years ago i picked her up
Because i had heard i should
And put it down because
She had not the flamboyance
Of the sher-o-shayari
That was more to my taste then
It was years before i could appreciate
The brutal honesty of her words
Not that young people do not have
The sensitivity to understand pain
Sometimes young people
Are the most troubled of all
Actually, the opposite
With youth the burdens are so heavy
That they just cannot see
What lies on their shoulders
And cannot recognize it
When they see someone else
Carrying the samr burden
Even if they are the same thing
Even if emily dickinson
Speaks in your voice
You cannot see
That the voice is coming from within
