The New Hope Poem by Jishnu Nair

It was my decision
That led to the situation
Where I had to take the decision
To cut off this relation

I just came to my senses
And destroyed all the fences
I had always been selfish
To the things I seemed to cherish

Thought only about what I felt
Never thought of what she dealt

"She was just a person as I am"

It took me a while, and friends
To understand
And took a lot of dead ends
To reach where I stand

She may have tried to talk
But all I did was an ignorant walk

Time makes you think
Even as u blink
You are filled with thoughts
There's no place for droughts

What we shared was pleasant
How can I be so ignorant?
When I think about her today
She doesn't seem my type in any way

I fought with her due to a momentary fury
Wrong in the eyes of my own jury
I had to talk to her the next day
I had many things to say

But when I met her the next day
Apologies also came hitting my way.
It was just what it took
To stop that distant look
It felt as the start of something new
She didn't seem like someone I Knew

I had experienced a lot of things
Caught in all those rings
Life just teaches you this way
Trains you for your better stay
Found my hidden talent to quote
These were the first lines I wrote
I was no poet till that day
The day I found the hidden array
Of what we call my inner soul
I poured it down in this bowl.

So, it took a lot of pain
Now all my feelings seem to rain
I just type as I say
A poem is written as I play

"I have found a new hope
Which has helped me to cope
Up with the mess I made
It all now just seems to fade'

It's not love nor is friendship
It's just my own flagship

The world is better
To those who speak out
Who knows what is strong
And what is weak without a doubt

The flings we witness
Are a product of incompetence
It's the ego that breaks us apart
Makes us believe we have played our part
Cast your egos, clear the confusions
Leave your illusions
And stay back and relax
As the world unwinds
To the best of its fusions.
