Dear Self

Dear self ,
We live inside each other,
When the last time we met each other
At the last stage of life, 
let's take some wise steps,
Your biggest abhorrence was,
You never wanted to live like a substitute 
or a hindrance in someone's life…! 
You didn't want to feel like scrapheap
But when they find you inept and worthless,
People threw you away when they find you,
snag in their personal space!

They didn't leave any space for you
Filled that with other people or feelings!
But
Their heart knows,
You were always honest with them,
You were always available for them to care,
to pamper, to understand, to trust them,
It was not enough for them!
You thought there is some connecting strings,
A string of trust, respect, and purity,
They were not loyal to you,
There was not any strings!

At last! 
Let's decide not to call them back!
You never asked them to go,
They chose separation,
They left you in pain,
They Stopped caring for you!

Ranjana this a good start to express your frustration in poetry with your uniqueness..I read this the other day__ as reaching out to others completely drains my core like an overused machine ; my quality time lessened slain by kindness...Now, my days taste the cherry of life indulging in forsaken passions leisures denied… Yes, it’s all because self-nourishment. Be well! Anaya
