My Accepted Life Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

My Accepted Life
Pravat Kumar Mandal

Out of my life I'm confined in yours
Many days, many months, many years
I've spent and enjoyed in that cell
No complains,no grievances, no tears.

Whenever I'm freed for a moment
I lose myself in the midst of glare
In the world of puzzle I forget
To laugh, to think, and to be aware.

Now I must be obliged to admit
Confinement is not a punishment
It's a safe heaven for existence
No pressure, no panic, no torment.

In the captive your mild disgrace
I've accepted in my lone heart
For myself in the near future
To receive peace, but not to hurt.
