Closure Poem by Shikha Singh

I've lost the ability to express
Thoughts are nothing but a jumbled mess
I am surprised at how time moulds you
I am awed at how life holds you!

Hands draw you back and
Keep you glued to the ground
Chain you with reality,
Gnaw at you like a hound.....

Time heals your sour wounds,
But leave a deep scar....
To remind you of the failures you've accumulated so far!

You have to suppress your voice when you want to cry
Shadows don't leave you no matter how hard you try...

An emptiness fills your whole being...
You wonder how to express/escape this wretched feeling!
You await a small opening from inside the closed doors
A share of Sun....a ray that's yours....

When why how your being was transformed?
Who is this in the reflection your mirror has formed? ? ? ? ?
Suffocating is this alien personality..
You dread to open your eyes and accept the reality! !
