Indifference

-
She had trained herself to be indifferent,

To negotiate through valleys of suffering,
Without shedding a single tear…

Oblivious to love,
Oblivious to misery;

To sit patiently silent through chicanery,
Without raising a single question…

Oblivious to integrity,
Oblivious to duplicity;

To bury her real emotions,
In an omnipresent smile,
In honey-covered words…

She thought her cultivated indifference to be a boon…

I thought it was the worst kind of curse,
She was no longer human…
And ironically, she had trained herself into it!
