Unfinished

A small step to come out of the quagmire

The jangles of the bangles in the shops,
The tinkle of the dreamcatcher on the wall,
Told me the story
You left unfinished for long.
I have been missing on the world,
In search of you.
I have turned away from me,
To look at you.
I have treaded the mountains,
Sailed the sea,
Walked the clouds,
And stole the rain,
To give you mixed with love.
But I have forgotten
That there was someone named I.
Whom I have left alone
In the house I have left so far.
I am going back,
To the world I know the best.
There is a breath of fresh air,
And a pile of warm bed.
There is a story lying beneath the table,
Forgotten by you,
But I have completed it,
And now it's new.

Wonderful poem on empowerment and rediscovering self. I truly believe that we can't fully love others until we learn to love ourselves. It is we who are our first love and it is a lifetime journey in discovering it within you. Thank you for sharing your art.

Thank you for your review.
And it's true loving thyself comes first because no one can love us or understand us the way we do ourselves.

This is so beautiful. It tells a really raw and real story. I love the lines "Sailed the sea/walked the clouds/and stole the rain," especially.

A story that millions of women have gone through. Some don't manage to pull themselves together and others, like you Mira who have learnt that you're worth loving. Loved this well written piece. Take care of yourself.

You're more than welcome Mira. Just believe in yourself and know that you're as good as everyone else. Never put yourself down.
