Alone but not lonely
Moirangthem Minakshi Devi *
Isolating myself from city lights,
Nattering to my soul seated under the stars,
To hear it's tale of how it's been hurt,
How it healed and adored it's scars.
I tried to recognise my soul,
Staying hidden behind my anger, smile and pain,
Or living in disguised within the words,
I speak , write or hide.
Thus, being to myself
Doesn't really go in vain.
Now I know myself as a person I love
And don't need to impress others,
As I've known my soul is in white
And need not to show them
In different colours.
An ocean of worries before me,
A whirl of puzzles of life,
So I settle for this bottle of wine,
As gloomy as it seems,
Life is still beautiful.
