I Must Confess, I Have Lied! Poem by Silkina Mankotia

slowly and steadily the time goes by..
and i forgave people for the things they did to me
but now sharply and at pace its hit me in my eyes..
and the sentences are open to a new plea
the pain is renewed and my ignorance has hit me on my face..
before this old ending i know you'll shudder
i am going to fight up my foes with enough mercy and grace..
few apologies cannot be accepted even though i tried..
and if i said i have forgotten and forgiven
I MUST CONFESS, I HAVE LIED!
