Time never heals anything,

It makes the scar deep and dinge.

They reiterate to obliviate the past,

But, you’ll initially lack what you’ve lost.

The memories that haunt you everyday,

You severely strive to keep them at bay.

Glimpses of failure preying on your mind

A refuge is all you seek to find.

Your calmness is a mere facade,

Dormant in you lies an eternal chaos.

Oh! You’re restless, broken into fragments

Errors are inevitable, why feel ashamed?

Embrace your flaws, they make you complete;

Exhibit your indomitable spirit, before time fleets.
