Broken

With enthusiasm churned out of potent energies

Hidden in latent ambition,

And saved up hopes of a lifetime

New Beginnings are made.

Bright and sunny,

The possibilities sparkle like Sirius

Making tomorrow a much awaited

Dream worth living for.

 

Fate is but unfair, as is life.

Often hopes are dashed

And dreams shattered

Into a million pieces of invisible shrapnel

Whose sharp jibes are painful,

Constant reminders of a yesterday

Gone awry;

Never to return or redeem.

 

Setting aside the sorrows

Of bygone days,

And mistaken ways,

One more attempt at fate’s roulette

To right the wrongs

Bestowed by the day before’s

Knockout blow to the head

Is but the norm.

 

One more time, the passion is built,

Another well of hope discovered

And the foundations of a fresh start laid.

Fed with resilience gained from experience

The bundles of old grief

Exchanged for faith and conviction,

Another first step of the thousand-mile journey

Begins with pomp and ceremony.

 

As all else on earth, this too ends

When gravity wins

And the hatchet slices through its carotid.

A million smithereens of pointy reminders

Filling each moment with

Piercing indications of the debacle

Lie all around

Irreversible and very visible.

 

How many more times should

Such failure one embrace

And smile for the benefit of uncaring others?

How many times should

The joints of one’s precariously glued persona

Be reattached meticulously

Before one can acknowledge the truth?

I am broken!
