Dark secrets
Peeping through the window of
past
Give her shudders
She has left the bygones behind
New life seems like breath of
fresh air
Floating in the waves of
Beautiful dreams of future
She has got wings of joy
It may shake the peaceful present
She suspects
It may destroy her dignity
She fears
How long she can hide it
She wonders
Come what may
She can’t erase those secrets
from her life
Indelible truth
Have the courage to face it
Let’s confess the reality
Her inner voice says
Maybe, her honesty can retain the harmony of her life
WE ALL HAVE SOME DARK SECRETS, I GUESS. THIS POEM WONDERFULLY DEPICTS THAT, BUT HER SECRET IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT ,,,,,,,MAY BE SOMEONE TOOK ALL SHE HAD....HER DIGNITY.BUT SHE IS MOVING AHEAD FOR GOOD....

Hi Janaki!
DeleteThank you!:)
I love the power of the sentiment within your words! I agree, we cannot run or hide from the best, better to face it squarely, to call it what it is, and to realize that what was then does not define us now.
ReplyDeleteThanks!:)
DeleteTrue, your past will always catch up with you, no matter how hard you try to make it go away... sharing before it becomes ugly is always better.
ReplyDeleteWell said Shilpa!:)
