Resilience

Throat chokes when tears cease to flow,
You stand sturdy to defeat this concealed sorrow
You choose not to hear words of attachment
When they are only meant to multiply your predicament
Escapism seems a better remedy than confrontation
If in the crowd you are most comforted from self isolation

My mirror does not remember this face
It tells me you have gone too ahead in this race
My voice doesn’t sound familiar to me,
When every time I say something I don’t want to mean

Past relationships did change me;
The thought of future does not torture me
But today makes me someone I don’t want to be

People say you need to see more of life
Ironically, the only people you love fail to survive

You flashback your innocence
And you now doubt even its slightest presence

Throat chokes when tears cease to flow,
You stand sturdy to defeat this concealed sorrow
One day you will dance to the music of life & play the violin of joy,
And no fate can control over you; no one can make you cry
