Healing

By Henoga Sanesh Ariyamal

My heart was shattered in thousand

Pieces by none other than myself. 

My thoughts running deep, that it took 

Me years to understand what hurt me was myself.

Shared it with everyone but only few 

understood the pain I was going through.

Fake faces, fake smiles but the face behind

The mask was mine, which is still a mystery to me. 

Who am I? what am I? 

Are the questions that lingered in my head,

I was waiting for someone to

Heal the confused and broken heart of mine.

Will there be anyone who would come 

my way to heal me? I thought.

But then the realization hit me hard,

That the only one to heal me is myself.
