Forgiving At Last

Forgiving At Last In the blue bruises of my heart still lingers the pain Loosening lid of bottled memories the skies still rain My teacher laughed and abused for my poor recitation skills Old aunt at neighborhood looked down upon for colour of my skin My friend stole roses making me scapegoat for her mistakes Thrashing from Dad made me believe truth had a silent escape First crush of college his charming looks deceived Sneered me at chaotic canteen, gift my feelings received My thoughts fall down choking breathless Crashing on shores of hurt ,waves of tears relentless Rewinding these incidents , fail to face the mirror As I see my broken reflection,my character's error The way I avoided at school farewell giving my teacher her deserved credentials Turned my eyes away diagonising the aunt at hospital bed-ridden My angry heart craved for revenge Until gardener caught my friend red-handed Though I knew my crush's girlfriend was two-timing him With relief laughed and celebrated inside me the little devil Burden of past dropped my shoulders touching my deeds dirty soil Tears flooded my soul as dark clouds with thunderstorm coiled So,I decided finally to forgive Each and everyone including me 21/11/2018
