Assumed Anesthesia ain’t Working I thought my stress at work would work as anesthesia Preventing me from feeling the sudden pain I got But I was wrong, it seems, ’cause I am feeling it even more Right now, I am in the metro, on my way back to room Gulping my tears, I am trying to hide my face And writing this poem Wandering how again what I thought months ago turning out to be true As I said in one of my poem, “I sense and often asume how things will unfold ahead And it is unwantedly right that they often turn out to be true” Being an empath is a curse, I must say Those who assume it as a blessing, are mostly wrong ©Saurav Banerjee Assumed Anesthesia ain’t Working #NAPOWRIMO #poem #FreeVerse
