Just her

Lonely she felt, afraid she was
Alone in the crowd she search for some familiar face
But found none
Her eyes were moist, heart weeped in dispair
She controlled her emotions
Putting on the brave front she made way into the crowd
Lost she was with no one to lead the way
She just wanted to cry but in someone's arms
Let alone be asking no one gave a damn that she was missing
With her heavy heart she stepped outside her house
She carried nothing with her except pain
Once out in the air, she just knelt on the floor and cried out loud
She slept like a baby and sobbed till her own voice died down
No one was worried about her
None checked on her whereabouts
She always thought they cared for her
But that day she gotta know the true faces of those people
Who yelled at her that they cared for her
She wanted a tight hug,
A hug which would tell that she isn't alone anymore
A hug which reassured that she was right
A hug that conveyed her helplessness
A hug which stuck back her broken pieces
But she got none
She hugged herself, cried for a long time
As the night got darker, she walked back to her house
This time too no one noticed her eyes
The next day she was fine
As if she hadn't cried her heart out last night
All this was a proof of her strength
Yet people told that she was weak,
If being weak means behaving as if nothing has happened
Then what does being strong mean....????
