Poems

I kept thinking day by day
My mind kept on wandering
On a million unanswered questions
A vast horizon I still had to conquer
But I was still at the start

I stood there reviewing my failures
wondering about the unknown
The rays of the sun shining upon me
Asking me why I hadn’t yet begun

I won once, failed thrice
I was hopeful first. lost my grip at the last
I was motivated once, then rejected by many
and yet I stood, hoping for a miracle
That would never come

At last I lost hope
I stood on a chair
Ready to tie the rope around my neck
Ready to give up
Finally give up my grip on hope

I looked around me one last time
And saw an anonymous letter
I sighed, and took it
It said, Mistakes makes masterpieces
Imperfections make creativity
Don’t let your failures bury you
Let them inspire you
That letter was an angel in disguise

And then I found out
The true meaning of success
I learned from my failures
I learned to be unique

Sometimes, I wish to get amnesia
To forget the words, you said;
To forget the things you did
To clear out all doubt in my head

Sometimes I wish the waves would come
And wash the filth away
Leave the beach all clean and dry
(Although the dusty sand will stay)

Sometimes I wish you would get amnesia
To forget that harmless thing I said
Forget the things I made you do; I didn’t realize
They cut you, and tore you to shreds

Sometimes I wish we could forget
Start over, with a pleasant hello
Yet if we did, we’d make the same mistakes
People forget forgiveness is an option too
