Becoming...

I choose now to write

A thought about

Thoughts, a tale about

Feelings.

How I wanted to,

But, did not

speak up or express.

I chose, but,

To be hurt,

To feel betrayed,

Disappointed,  by

The ones I thought never will

Defeated in every path,

I chose

Stopped time I did,

Flipped a few pages back,

And stared at life,

As an outsider, a stranger

With no judgment…

I wanted to

And failed

To say no, to opine

To choose differently

To be happy and

Not carry the burden of

My choices.

I chose the sorrow,

I chose betrayal,

I chose yesterday, I chose today.

I chose to become.

Alas! Time waits for no one,

I lay with my eyes open,

On a bed of choices and doubts.

Pages of life turned to

A tomorrow with hope,

New paths to pave

A path to a new Becoming…
