New Chapters – Aditi Gupta

Many days have passed,
Many are yet to come.

But still, afraid of this world.

Want to disappear,
In the shadow of the night,
Don't want to be found,
By the two-faced people in my life.

The hypocrisy is their nature,
The bitterness is their talk.

I no longer want to mingle with the likes of you all.

Finally found my peace in this silence,
The silence of this beautiful night,
Where time stops,
And every memory is alive.

Be it a blessing or a nightmare,
But those moments were a chapter of mine.

The book is still incomplete,
Still looking for its ending,
But no longer have any protagonist.

My story is finally getting its pace,
The cruelty of your words helped me realise my worth.

You made me feel ashamed,
Your gestures were a game.

The broken me was looking for someone to blame,
But now I'm thankful for the lesson,
The lesson of heartbreak.

Finally I'm back on my track,
Ready to unfold the new chapters,
With laughter and cries, 
But in the end, they will be only mine.
