Whispers

I was pushed into a corner,
Dark and bleak,
Left by myself,
Bounded by emotions
To be wasted
I found comfort there
For I was too scared to come out
And face the light again
Afraid that I’ll fall in love once again
To be torn apart
And thrown apart
Into this corner once again
I lay there still
Eyes open,
Heart closed,
Senses numbed,
I lay there
All alone

In the midst of this solitude
Piercing through this silence,
I heard faint whispers
Many voices whispering to me
Soothing whispers that comforted me
I opened my eyes
But no one was around
Or so I felt!
I began to feel warm,
In that dark and bleak corner
Until I realized
This isn’t where I belong
I got up slowly
Those whispers,
Helped me stand on my feet
And come out,
Reborn and rejuvenated
I stand,
Facing the light
Once again!

Shattered Reflection

Seeing my shattered reflection
As I look within me
I ponder
Given a chance
I would have undone it all
Living life the way that would have
Lightened you and all
Given a chance
I would have retraced my steps
Backwards to the point
Where I veered away from you
Given a chance
I would have taken back those words
The sharp and the venomous
That caused a pang in your ears
Given a chance
I would have walked upto you
An act of redemption
And wiped away your tears
Given a chance
I would have been a different me
But you never did give me one
To let me prove how good I can be
