You were never right to say it
wasn’t wrong
You were never wrong to feel
something was amiss
Coz you never realized which side
you were
Coz you never realized where you
belonged
Until words became too hollow to
hold any further
It was always a square or a
circle with trapeze
And not the straight line you had
in your mind
It remained elusive
You chose to speak your mind to
coexist
And that was your innocence,
When you thought life will come
around
But it was selfish when life
chose to go otherwise
You remained there, with your
world
That you so honestly tried to
create
But life was seldom there
And whenever it chose to spend a
period with you
It was always sought something in
return
That you had so soulfully
nurtured
And it took away all, one by one,
like a disloyal partner
It would always seek more, even
if you were left broken
When you were betrayed
It didn’t have even the false
assurances
When you were left alone
It pushed you more into a chasm
of no end
When you felt lost
It tried even to mislead you into
the wilderness
You did not see it all then
You were never right about it
But then how can your innocence
be wrong?
All it did was seeing the life in
a right perspective
You thought it was always a straight
line to coexist
Even if the journey was always
rough
The friction
That defines your existence was
always there
Where would we be without
friction in our life?
But all this while,
Life was busy encircling you in
its tentacles
Of false ideas, of false
relations, of false existences
You were taught, you were
preached
To blame yourself first, to find
fault with yourself first
Even if you knew you were pure in your heart
Such was the mirror
That you would go with such
absurdities
When you had decided to open
yourself to life,
A mutual coexistence was in your
mind
But after all these years,
You find life did all to throw
you into a lonely abyss
Now that you can see through its designs,
Knowing that a part of you has
been co-opted,
You need to be existentially
right to come out of illusions
You need your straight line, more
than ever..
You were never right
to say it wasn’t wrong
