Don't Recognise Me

By Saumya Chawla

Looking at myself in the mirror,

Not recognising myself.

Tears after tears,

I am continuously hiding myself behind the fears.

Loving people even when they don't deserve it,

Continuously trying to fit in.

I don't recognise myself anymore.

Because I lost myself while trying to get you back.

I always felt unworthy thinking what do I lack?

I started crying more thinking why I stayed after you clearly told me to leave,

Memories of us,I am holding up my sleeve.

I still laugh on the jokes you made and later I grieve.

Loving you was a mistake,

I cared for you wholeheartedly while knowing your love and care was always fake.
