Poem- The Underworld written on 11th August 2020

 The Underworld

Deep underneath what can be seen, lies a world that can't be seen.

Nor people, nor emotions, nor opinions of that world, can ever be seen with human eyes.

The world of the seen is always better off without that world.

And It always likes to keep it that way,

The people of 'that' world are never poked, never taunted and never questioned.

I wish to be part of that world for I think now that I receive too much attention.

A world where no one judges you for who you are, I can trade my soul to be a part of that world anyhow.

The world of the Underworld is such a place, where no one cares about such waste.

You can be whoever you want, do whatever you want to do and no one will even raise your voice at you for that.

In the world of the seen, expressing your interests is a sin.

Lying and scams are a way to survive in this world of the seen.

Listening to meaningless words can be assured here.

Being part of a rat race is what life is defined as in this world of the seen.

Why would I ever want to be a part of such a world?

Where I can't do things I like, where being popular is more valued than being knowledgeable.

Where I have to struggle each day to keep my image uptight.

Where even If I suffocate, I have to breathe only to keep my mere beating heart alive.

How much I wish to be a part of 'that' world, where no one absolutely no one can pressurize you.

Where each opinion is equally valued but never judged.

I hope that I can be a part of that world sooner, so that I can have a new definition to my life and so I can prove my worth to a new sunrise.

'That' world which is made by the 'seen' people who've been hurt by the lies, scams, suffocations and meaningless words.

Who were not truly happy before, but now have found happiness.

This place really does exist, it's right in front of your bare eyes.

If you seek this world, just close your eyes and then look with a new perspective and not with a new instrument.

I found my place in 'that' world and I hope you will too.
