60 days and a lifetime to go

The only lesson for life that I learnt was that there are no lessons for life
Two months back, I started a birth year
It started off like any other previous one
With a little wine and dine, friends and wishes poured
New ambitions and dreams had started forming in
As the day ended, however, clouds of doubts arose
With mid night shine, the doubts turned into decisions
Shock and Hurt, The pain of the broken idea of future pricked
What followed was a ruckus, a chaos
Realisations and Rationalizations took over
Weaknesses of self-came in forefront
Anyone who passed by, tried picking up a broken piece for me
Then came another blow
The closest hit the hardest, and those pieces went flying away again
Anger and Resentment created a folly of their own
The cocktail of confusion and emotional fragility was balanced to perfection
Mistakes followed Mistakes like an ant trail
Days and Nights passed drenched in tears
Grief had no clarity, no precision, no fear
Life was passing as a haze
Fighting back and making sense of situations
I Failed again and again
Acceptance came slowly
After realisations dawned one by one
Hindsight and Overthinking became my constant companions
Mistrust and sadness followed
Peace ensued
It’s been 60 days
60 days of change and lessons learnt
60 days of chapters closed and new pages in life
60days and a lifetime to go
