Lesson Learnt Poem by Nirupa Narine

Games are enjoyable....
to those who dont get affected by them...
others get fun...but from one game....
he learnt never to play it again.....

It was just another boring day with nothing to do.
'Let's play truth or dare' stupid him he now thinks....
They dared him to talk,
They dared him to look in her eyes,
They dared him to pretend like he felt it.

But they never dared him to really feel it,
to feel the power in her eyes,
to feel like the world is wrapped around her.
He now plays his own game,
Dares himself not to feel it.
To not feel like she's the powerhouse of air,
To feel like his world can turn without her.
Because he knows...
That she will never be his.
