New Beginings
By Sanmitha Sree V
How does one start anew,
When old scars
Still strain each step?
New beginnings.
How does a chapter start,
When the last one
Left at a cliffhanger?
New beginnings.
How does a seed bloom,
Over a withering plant?
Something forsaken
Yet still present.
New beginnings.
Not so truly new
When at each moment,
Ghosts of the past
Haunt my judgement
For even a clean state
Is not free of the indents,
The chalk once left.

Being torn between past and future, beautifully captured. Maybe this poem in itself is a successful attempt to stay in the present :)
Nice.
