Forgiving At Last
Forgiving At Last
In the blue bruises of my heart still lingers the pain
Loosening lid of bottled memories the skies still rain
My teacher laughed and abused for my poor recitation skills
Old aunt at neighborhood looked down upon for colour of my skin
My friend stole roses making me scapegoat for her mistakes
Thrashing from Dad made me believe truth had a silent escape
First crush of college his charming looks deceived
Sneered me at chaotic canteen, gift my feelings received
My thoughts fall down choking breathless
Crashing on shores of hurt ,waves of tears relentless
Rewinding these incidents , fail to face the mirror
As I see my broken reflection,my character's error
The way I avoided at school farewell giving my teacher her deserved credentials
Turned my eyes away diagonising the aunt at hospital bed-ridden
My angry heart craved for revenge
Until gardener caught my friend red-handed
Though I knew my crush's girlfriend was two-timing him
With relief laughed and celebrated inside me the little devil
Burden of past dropped my shoulders touching my deeds dirty soil
Tears flooded my soul as dark clouds with thunderstorm coiled
So,I decided finally to forgive
Each and everyone including me
