HIDDEN....

There was a thought taking shape, undefined

Perhaps an anxious doubt, a sudden whirlpool in the mind,

The things that I had left far behind,

How did it all show up and confront me?

The things then I never turned back to see, 

I said without their baggage, happier I will be!

Things I marked as forbidden for me,

I kept watching those emotions live within me,

My curiosity nudged at them, still they did not desert,

It would hide from, try to deceive , till it hurt,

I kept going on, never listening to my questioning heart

And let my guilty self hide behind that fake facade.

Told myself I cannot stop, had to move on each day,

Yet all the shadows appeared and soon they 

were gone, everyday and  today,

Plagued by the thought of a farewell, biting in like the frost,

I felt totally lost.

Kept asking how and when everything changed,

How come we went our ways, estranged !

All the things that we had wanted to set free

Are part of us, our reality, 

How come those irrational thoughts lead us to being cold and numb,

Heartless to become;

What was to be a creation of love, beautiful and free, 

Was shackled up, hidden, as the world wanted it to be!!!
