In a Heartbroken State

"We can choose either to remain heartbroken all the time or with resilience, come back to cheer, as true happiness primarily stems from inside and not through external factors alone. Our happiness is mostly dependent on our way of thinking and how we see life"..... By Poet She heard the sound of pigeons overhead. Looking up she saw them whirling forming emerging patterns in the sky. They soared on and on until they became fading black dots in the blue Such sights would have sent her to raptures sometime back, but now when she sees them, she can only think of the years speeding by and the chances missed and her whole life- a fading black dot! Under a virus of melancholy, she walks with lacerations in her soul. Pain consumes her without visible flame. She's heartbroken with nothing to look for. The world around her looks devoid of life. She wages a lone battle inside, to drive out demons of dejection. But she feels as if a sharp knife, is cutting deep right through her heart and she winces at every chop. Though she tries hard to cover her bruises, they bleed red and make themselves known. Pain has completely sucked her out. In a vessel, she collects her tears, hoping to water the parched terrain of her drought- stricken dry domain. Light has miserably betrayed her, and now she lives in eternal darkness fighting black shadows day in and out!
