ACCEPTING MY FLAWS

Passing by  the mirror like every other day
Again running late for that train in the subway
Like every other day , there was no time to untangle the thoughts in mind
Just a will to leave them behind

But that day something went wrong
I did something that was way prolonged

Forgotten was that train or  me getting late
Or the person waiting for me to enter together that college gate

I did something unexpected of me...

That cloudy day I just wanted to be free 
So badly wanted to hear my rusty heart's plea

And that's what I did... I stood in front of the mirror bluntly
I stared and stared , only to find myself hanging in there barely

I felt like nobody
The past, the trauma,the hollowness, the rat race...ahh life feels like a tragedy

That day instead of running and hiding away
I choose to look for answers, without any delay

And reason I found..that it had always been me
I let my past,the  memories, the inner turmoil it, define the present and future for me

And now that I look back..
One thing has always been there that is... regret

Seconds, minutes , hours ticked off slowly
I continued staring at my reflection..until I make all the tormenting thoughts just a history

Acceptance, acceptance of my flaws , my beautiful heart ...was all I needed
That day I combined all the shattered pieces

Finally I got myself back
And resolved to continue this healing process without any slack...

AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT MY HEALING PROCESS...
