Do You Know? Poem by Sangavi -

Do you know?
Everybody receives care in childhood.
Well, I did too
But my mind said, 'Who cares?
I won't let you feel it,
I won't let you understand it.'

Do you know?
Everybody receives care in their teenage years,
Though the way is different.
And yes, I did too.
But my mind said,
'It's my decision
I'll let you understand it
But in the wrong way.'

Do you know? '
Everybody receives care in adulthood too.
And yes, I did too.
At last, my mind whispered,
'Okay, this time I'll let you have it.'
But it was too late
I had already forgotten
What care feels like.
Forgetting the care,
Life began to hate me
It didn't want to care for me anymore.
To avoid becoming a burden to life,
I went to death
And asked for care.
This time, death replied:
'I care for many
But you're not in my list
Come later.'

What shall I do,
When neither life nor death
Is willing to care?

Maybe -
If I learn to understand care,
Life might care for me too.
And maybe
Death will, one day too
What shall I do?
If the death care for me on the same day as life?
