Poem
Many years ago, I’d been seeing My whole life in front of me. Like a tale, I could tell how it’d end, By simply looking at how it begins. Thinking I’d been born this way, Without any luck. With no other options, Neither freedom, nor choice to change anything from which has already been written in the past. In fact, it’s nothing more than a bird’s cage for me, & even worse than the darkest dungeon, Which has been keeping me locked up All alone inside, for so long. Till I realized I’ve been yearning Something deep down from within Which I myself, couldn’t even comprehend... At the very core of my solitary soul There was a space of emptiness Seemed like a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle.. And like a pile of love letters from a long lost lover, it's been left unread At the darkest corner of my soul! Was it about my long forgotten dreams? Or perhaps the things I’ve wished I had But never had the chance to become my own? What could it be? It’s the greatest mystery I’ve been keeping in my heart, for so long.. I thought it’s just a myth In my own wishful thinking! Too good to be true or to be mine. Therefore, should be kept ignored Like those unread letters , from a long lost lover. Or as an old file of forgotten impossible dreams! That should be left untouched Until the very end! One lucky day, I stumbled upon a special mirror! So different from the one I used to see in front of me! Just a simple touch on it with my fingertips I was promised of the possibility To live happily & free! At first, I thought, it’s nothing but reflection of my own self alone But then, I’ve realized it’s beyond What I have ever seen before! My lonely face, which for so long has never known how to smile again, Had finally been smiling In front of it for almost all day long. Till many long days of waiting & staring at it faithfully I was at last! able to see clearly behind its mystery! Real connection I had With the image inside, It finally revealed the truth Right before my very eyes! The image of the one I see in front of me, Is no one else .. But the loveliest image of the OTHER HALF of me!
