The Voices

The voices grew louder and louder
As I tried better and better to blend in it
Alas! I only got worse and worse

The laughter grew louder and louder
As I tried better and better to fake a grin
Alas! I only got worse and worse

Let me dance to the songs I know not
Let me laugh to the jests I know not
Let me nod to the idiocracies of the mob
Let me stare like a naive as they mock at me

Let me act as if the brook flows smooth
When in actuality it roars and tears through
Let me act as if the giggles and simpers are true
When in actuality it rains and pours through

Let me try again and again to nod and grin
through all the mockery the mob puts me through

Eivine

Hi! I’m Eivine, a writer who loves to prance around with words! Writing had been my ultimate passion ever since I learned to hold my pencil in the toddler days. Being a single child who didn’t have the luxury of YouTube, cartoons and video games of the present generation, my besties for life where books! My mother was the one who introduced me to the fantastic world of words that wove tales and poetry. One day when she returned from work, she had a big book in her hand. It was Enid Blyton’s “The Naughtiest Girl In The School.” I took it awestruck and asked her how I’m going to finish reading such a big book. She asked me to try it once and to both her and my surprise, I finished reading it in a stretch without even taking a break. That was my first step into the world of books, words, reading, and writing.
