Written Affair : Why Me?

Imagine yourself, facing problems in every direction you turn... What would you do? Most people turn to God and ask him - 'Why Me?' But then, God never answers... not directly at least. He does drop in hints which we fail to see... And thus we continue questioning his motives... This poem is about those endless questions we ask him...
But then, do answer yourselves after reading the poem, whether you still have the faith in him? Whether you still trust him?

Whenever I am happy

You leave me all sad...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I dream

You wake me up...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I smile

You leave tears behind...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I decide

You leave me all confused...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I am ready to choose

You take the options away...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I try to mingle

You leave me all alone...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I see rosebuds

You show me the thorns...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I speak

You leave no one to hear...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I leave

You block my way...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I question

You never reply...

And I ask you... why me again??

Generations have grown up outside the shadow of the communal killings and mass displacement that shaped the contemporary history of the subcontinent.

A gaz, a ghara, a maang-tikka, a pocketknife, a peacock-shaped bracelet, and a set of kitchen utensils: these were what accompanied her great-grandparents as they fled their homes, and through them she learnt of their migration and life before the Divide.
