Past

What was it to feel

Like a young girl

With wonders to discover

And dreams to weave

Now the memories

Of those same dreams

Rip lesions in my soul

It flutters so

In it’s trap

All I want

Is to set it free

A New Day

It’s a new day

But nothing’s new

The hours drag

The minutes lag

And the seconds line up

Aimless

Blinded

Just striking an endless event

Time in

And time out

Death of Dreams

The corpse of my dreams

Lay flailing in my arms

They still smile back weakly

But I can see their pain

Their shock

They ask how this came to be

I have no answers

I only have tears

Regrets for decisions

That molded fate

The decisions were mine

So the regrets mine

The tears mine

And now

The dreams that lay dying

Are mine too.

Falling

The other day when I fell

Everyone saw.

They had pity

And my shame burned me.

Collecting charred pieces

Of my self

I crawled past.

Like always

I had no time to reflect

Till later.

That one mis-step

Had changed so much.

It had weakened my gait

Altered my course

Muffled my laughter

And jolted my faith.

And lest I forget

The scars are there to remind.
