Words sharper than knives, thrown straight at my mind Bullets embedded so deep, in places no surgeon can find And there it lingers, brewing a heavy storm inside Slowly dimming the light with which she beautifully shined Making mistakes like trying to fix the people who were out to break me Care so much for the ones whose mind didn't cross the thought of me Waste precious moments on souls who were simply unable to see All daunting lessons from the past, a chapter in history So tomorrow when you wake up, make the wise choice to be kind Fail to take pride in the fact that, because of you another cries Make sure your heart stays warm no matter how hard the world tries To take away the sweetness with its cold and sour lies A word to those who uncovered the same truths of reality Bask in the joyous moments, amidst life's complexity One day you'll discover your worth, in the mirror's reflection you'll see A flame that burns brightly, one that'll shine eternally -Ayumi De Silva 32nd batch 1st Place Talents Literary Competitions 2023 Poetry category Organised by the Arts Circle, FMS, USJ | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
