I am not in favour of melancholy poetry but one thing - this piece was not gloomy, unlike most others. It was just a clever piece of thought. Good work.

Re: # 1
Thanks a million. There is nothing better in the world than a good comment on poetry that comes from such personal depths.

Re: # 4
I do not know what made you feel the rhyming was planned because it just came to me naturally. Thanks for encouraging.

in some parts, the rhyming seems contrived (screams/dreams, speak/weak, but overall, it`s a good piece, look forward to more from you

Lack of recognition is alienation
total denial of your existence
and that you matter

Thoughtful words. Could have been composed better, but I liked it anyway.

Excellent imagery and profound depth. Its been a while that I have seen such an exquisite work of art at chowk. The beauty of this poetry is that it is so simple yet it is so elegant.
