Something lives inside
continues to stay
even when we age with time
within us
maybe protruding in our head
sometimes in some forgotten place
yet,
coming back to us
when in despair
a childhood trauma
a bully at school
a guilt inside
Less score in high school days
just the nervousness to make in college days
a day to ask out
a day to call our fears
an embarrassment
or violence that may not have been heard
its a scar that stays with us….
maybe people say to forget
maybe we try to forget
but its not easy like footprints on beach
instead its the marking on coral reefs
the movement of waves on pebbles around
embarked and leaving its trace abound
can you forget those scars ?
keep it hidden forever in heart
tell it to people around
you had been hurt inside out
if they tell you to forget
then its alright
at least you wont regret
not telling what made you cry that day…
its a scar
apply some medicine
don’t covet it
don’t let it become bigger than that
a pierce
a stab
a cut
a wound
what does it tell us ?
you will heal with those scars around…
it shall pain sometimes
you might shed tears to deal
but those pains aren’t big, as your dreams
those grief aren’t huge, as your life
or the next moment your going to write
in that encompassing write
you shall write many songs
some sad, taking some notes
some learnings, to make better score
some misadventures you made
but crossed the heart to never make more mistakes
don’t fear your scars
confront them
don’t let it burden your heart….
