You pinned me to a corner....

A poem written on bullying having witnessed it around. My tribute to those who went through it and go through it just because they choose to remain silent because of various reasons, one being holding their own dignity.....

You pinned me to a corner....
As I walked into the room
I feel eyes piercing my lean frame
Eyes down I walk, quiet and alone
Yet I see your glances exchange
As you stand with your gang
Sneering and jeering
Pinning my scared small frame.
Nervous and alone I shiver inside
As I know not what's my fault
I see you texting words far away
Perhaps false words and thoughts
Gossip and sinister plans
Made by an insecure evil mind.
I feel a culprit and doubt myself
Standing out like a sore thumb
Lose my confidence and so afraid
While you all laugh away.
There are eyes that watch you
Quiet and observant....noticing
Your ways and bullying openly
Feel my ache yet stay quiet
Support silently with dignity.
You think you can bring me down
Sadly it's your reality blaring bright
Just remember it's your day today
You think I'm vain and no good
You gang up against me no end
While I live in silence and solitude
I discover myself as I self connect
Better myself each and everyday
I learn not to hurt and gang up
I stand for more souls like me
Someday when tables turn
You shall see the pain I lived in
I shall not shun you like you did
Instead I shall see you through.
You pin me in the corner today
Higher from there I shall rise
Life's so unpredictable and surreal
I know some soulful day shall come
As morning sun shall rise
Where I stand today....
Tomorrow you shall pine.

Dark deeo eyes....

Dark deep eyes 
A faraway lost look 
That seems to keep searching further
Lips dry and parched 
Quivering now and then 
As she wets them nervously
The calm face but just a mask
That hides a million stories
Emotions and unmet desires
Not many reach for her hand
She holds her own
The reality strikes each moment
She lives no dream
The strength to go on
Despite every odd
Her lean frame can't do justice
To the strength she holds within
Her stories inspiring
Her emotions precious
Yet misunderstood
As she silences her voice
Perhaps her strength is envious
Her tales inspiring
Her journey momentous
Her beauty inside out obvious
She lives a life....quiet and alone
Happy to be able to give
Strength to more souls like her
Quietly.....one at a time.
