My life like
that autumn leaf,
falls and flies
at the same time.

“Safer Words” – Nayana Nair
I can’t write my life.
There is so much to what I am,
that is not supposed to be written.
There is so much that I can’t explain.
There is so much I can’t hear myself.
It’s not only the prying eyes of the world
that stops my ink,
that makes me cross out certain words
and settle for safer ones.
