Its never too late !
This is a poem of repentance
It is never too late !
I sat alone on the beach , and thought of my past.
my mistakes and my biases , my misgivings and my vices.
It is only then , that I realized , what an inflated ego I have.
Someone who does not err is I, Someone who knows best is I.
I prided on my knowledge, No one’s opinion I acknowledged,
Everyone I met on a regular basis, I saw and took various prejudices.
Some were bad , some were worse, If they towed along the line,
They were good or very fine , and hence I went on,
Having biases against one and all,
With no notion of the venom I was storing,
Until life became very boring.
There was no one to love me , and no one to share with me,
I went around like a zombie, in a perpetual vacuum, which was so gloomy.
I have to change, I thought to myself,
With great hesitation, I extended my hand,
There was a great fear of rejection and ridicule.
But it came as a shock, the reaction of the lot,
They loved and showed so much care.
My entire soul, I could bare.
I felt like dry sand,
Which was soothed by the flow of the cool water?
I realized that the people who reached first,
Were the ones I thought were the worse!
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
