The Up Side Of Down

The absence of light ;darkness,
Clouds my eyes and patches my heart with rugged pieces of regret,
Of the choices I made without making any,
Of the sides I picked by not picking any,
Of the love I feel,
Only to self. Selfish love.

Regret burns my conscience to embers,
Embers that set my heart on fire,
I'm burning.

But,
Being low sometimes can be good,
I shed off my self righteousness,
Felt vulnerable,
Torn apart piece by piece,
So that I can learn to sow my life back,
To get a semblance of a fresh start.

New mirrors reflect the most light but old mirrors reflect your true self,
Pain and pleasure lied in my past.

Walking down the memory lane I found,
The other part of me that almost gave up, but didn't.

Shine on little light of hope,
Take away this darkness.

This is the up side of down.
my pen has bled so listen to my heartwriting​
