ইংরাজী কবিতা - ইশিতা লাহা

Silent Suffering
Ishita Laha

Every time IT resurfaces
Rips the girl off her liveliness
Scraps off her resilience
The circumstances turn bestial, She-
Constantly contemplating on things
Done and are left undone.
Even being amidst the crowd
Finds herself abandoned, sick and forlorn
Gets emotionally fatigued,
And a question agitating in mind
That stays silent and unanswered –
Why can’t the Almighty be a little benign?
With great fortitude, She
Welcomes a new sunrise
With firm forbearance on time
To change its tide; until then
Remains her voices choked, eyes moist
The fight continues....
