An exquisite comfort
A scattering of all the weight,
Liberation of all the hurt....
Washing it smooth,
The jagged edges of our lives,
Laying down a path anew,
With a lighter heart and a clearer view,
Somewhere to vanish into,
Into a cloud,
Into a whisper
Into a whoosh,
or into a wilderness
To vaporize into something unknown
And To let it all suspend to nothingness.
waiting to embrace it all,
into a warm & tender hug
Letting the rawness melt,
And Making it easier to let go of all that we''ve felt..........
Coz It is never so easy to get over all the hurt,
..............
And then even darkness begins to feel like comfort.
Well mine was served to me heartily...on a plate so gargantuan .....(topped with a cherry i must add)...that i could barely stuff it down my throat.
Well u probably must have figured out that my life is a series of little blows and topped with a cherry....lets call it a 'coup de grace'.
My life wasn't exactly a pretty picture of perfection.
I was born in to a godforsaken family. I was surrounded by alcoholics, drug addicts, manic-depressives for half my life.I didn't know what a family should be like, never had the luxury of a mothers love, never felt d warmth of a home.............n all tht family stuff i later came to realize.
There was no room for emotions and feelings!! It had already become abstract.
But there was one thing i was blessed with, a stoical nature and a brilliant mind to go hand in hand!
With an atom of confidence, I dragged myself through the ravages of my fate, call it sheer luck or hardwork, into a successful individual, self reliant and self sufficient.
I got married to a successful businessman, bore him to lovely kids, had a fantasy perfect house and all that jazz.
And then it was like i was being jumbled up inside a caramel popcorn tub, all sweetness and light, with dollops of happiness, joy, laughter........
It was like i was floating inside a bubble, oblivious to everything's that happening outside.
Until One fine day,
my husband committed suicide. Now that is what i call a sledgehammer blow!
I was trying to will it all away, convincing myself that its all one bad bad dream, and tht i hav all d happiness in d world in d airtight container of my house, my husband is sitting rite across from me, smiling at me with the sun glinting off his thick hair, and that smile igniting every nerve in my body!
But as i opened my eyes, my life was charred mess of broken dreams and deep , mind-numbing anguish. It was like watching it happen to someone else.Oh how i wished it was someone else!
It was like being left with a colouring book, all d figures n cartoons beckoning you to fill it with the prettiest colors, but having only one big black crayon to fill it up with......................!
I tried to console myself...tried so hard...........i kept telling myself that it wasn't the end of the world, i had my whole life ahead of me, like a long highway which seems to go on forever, and had 2 lovely kids by my side.!!
But Life didn't spare me....again.
I felt like i was dumped back into the trashiness of my fate. It was like i was born to live in trash.
I had ended up where I'd started from.
Life dragged me back down from the top.
Now i am fragile, dependent, a manic depressive, alcoholic..........all the things i was trying to block out and cross out............had caught up with me..........
Looking back now , i can say i have lived some wonderful moments, maybe few, but nonetheless have the power to light up the whole galaxy.............
