A Torched History

 

Sweet stories, cherished memories

Chapters of life blown apart

Torn, burnt and disintegrated

Up in flames within one’s mind

People's want, lies and deceitful actions

The kindling that fueled the flames

Never taking the responsibility for their actions

They deflect all the trauma and blame

Make you feel all the shame

Now starting afresh

Relearning and healing

Writing my own stories and chapters of truth

Building a library of liberation

In which I can recover and recoup.

Admittance

 

Sometimes, the pen knows

What the soul can't admit

Let's the truth spill forth

Bit by bit

Baring all the agonies,

Exposing all the pains

Slaying all the demons

Within ink ingrained stains

Exposing it all upon paper

Thus, purging the soul

Evolving in strength

Renewed in a goal.

Fakery

 

Life has shown me the answers

The true colour of many a person

The words never met by their actions

False perceptions and facades always slip

Trust and interaction withers

Boundaries come into play

Getting a grip on my interaction

Not a game I’m willing to play.
