Whispers Of My Heart Poem by Afreen Sarkar

My heart is full of gratitude
To all those who taught me
The most important lesson in life...

You made me realise
what a fool I was!
Not once did I think
Your pleasant words
And sugary smile
Had a veiled purpose to beguile.

After you wrung all the trust
Out of my heart,
Why are y'all still baffled when I say
That 'trust' is a funny word?

After my heart was pulverised,
I fell in love with the stronger me.
No longer do anybody's words
Cut through my heart
Like a sharp knife;
I no longer flee
From any situation
Life throws at me.
