What if these noises you hear,
Are the groans of your past,
Something buried deep,
Is gasping for breath,
And longing to last.

You want to choke it to death,
And then move somewhere far,
Still contemplating between,
Your older self,
And the person you, now, are.

The answers are unclear,
And you stopped believing in luck,
You know that the end is chasing you,
But you are here, all stuck.

Promises are bleak,
And expectations are vast,
You are wounded and bridled,
But the world is running fast.

You don't know whether your heart,
Will ever find its calm,
Where your roots are,
Have you unearthed the layers,
To find the indelible scar?
