Why? Poem by Hira Akhtar

Why?

Rating: 4.2


Why I am like a raining sky?
Why I care for those,
who say to me goodbye?
Why I am so sensitive and shy?
Why on little things,
i start to cry?
Why everyone thinks me as a toy?
My mam advises me to be bold,
and strong like a boy
Because there is no place,
in this world for a coward guy
I should act upon this advice,
otherwise no one will say to me 'HI'

Languages are developed by making spelling easy. At the initial stage many object but ultimately accept it. Think of Hindi word Suhagan. Initially it was Subhagan which means a woman having good fate. A women whose husband is alive is considered as a good fated woman, and was called subhagan. Gradually it became suhagan and being used widely was accepted and included in the dictionary.. More important are the thoughts presented in a poem, in an artistic manner, attracting the readers. We write for others. Thoughts presented in this poem are nice and in an artistic manner. That is enough to rate this poem as very good.
