Back to the shore

"There comes a time in life that knocks you hard in the head, reminding you how

time changes you!  How as you grow old, you lose the kid in you as 

responsibilities begin to burden your shoulders! 

When you look around, you see nothing but yourself! Realizing it the hard way -

'You walk in and leave, alone! The rest are but strings attached and nothing more'. 

For only you can save yourself by being 'you' and not losing yourself in the 

process of growing up! As I sat on the porch missing the old me, I began to ink..."

What does loneliness even feel like?

amidst big crowds, your heart starts to strike;

Strike and outcry, failing to feel the love around,

turning cold and numb, worse than a barren ground!

    Why is life often gifted with jolts like these?

    never a smooth medley like 'wine and cheese'.

    At times neither moments nor memories do please,

    It is such a rugged journey; as messy as grease!

Why does everything shatter, all at once?

recovering is uncertain, takes weeks or months.

It takes beyond everything to repair what's broken-

Deep scars and wounds leave the soul forsaken!

    I was known to be the 'happy-go-lucky-girl', 

    with a smile that shone brighter than pearl!

    Lost in the ocean of darkness, where do I explore?

    How do I get my old self back to the shore?
