Nostalgic grief with relief
I miss the days of mine
I miss the old me which used to shine
Like a star with unrelenting light
But now I love the darkness of night
That old excitement of occasions
That large happiness in little things
And the pride in all my possessions
Made me felt like I had wings
I miss myself while caring a lot
Though aspersion was only something which I got
And so i preferred to change
Which resulted in seeing everyone's behavior so strange
My new version is not the worse though
They might call it toxic
but the truth is something which only I know
Inspite of all besmirch, my actions are still slow
Contributing in controlling my rage from being able to grow
'Peace over drama'is not only my aim to show
But also my wish exists to throw
That classics which have hindered my dreams
That fear of revealing my screams
Is no more alive
Just because I chose to live and not only survive!
And also because I preferred change in order to live
Live in way far more than better to survive
Cause it's only one life to apologize and rise!
One life to establish that home also called paradise
And when tragedy of life comes near
It's one life to end with goodbyes!
