The Upsetting Times

By Bhargavvi Atul Bajpai

Oh dear, you were so promising to me!

Everything felt like an assurance

It felt like a soothing balm to my woes

I felt that every heart-break of mine would heal because I had you

I felt I would soar high up in the sky

But Oh No.

I was so wrong!

The expectations have fallen like a pack of cards

Getting the biggest setbacks of my life

Never thought that I’ll be left alone

What about the promises you made to me?

What about those words you spoke, before I came here?

I feel now, it was a lie

Here, I am all alone

Battering the storm

With No one besides me

You’ve been the biggest let-down

But, here I am standing to see the sunrise yet again

To rise again

With a burden on my shoulders

With a hope to fight and win again.
