Ain’t we a bit bitter inside?!
Sad eyes on happy faces, 
Indeed life is an inevitable roller coaster ride,
But its us who’ll spread the brightness with the fire of our light.
And trust me it’ll be alright.
Yes life is like a
 bitterness of coffee in the morning,
 and bitterness of whiskey at night.
 but we’ll stay the bittersweet that 
we are,
like a 20 year old wine,
that we had together last night at nine.
We are bitter because we ain’t what we should be,
Jealousy, hatred, voilence, betrayal, anger and fear are the reasons why we couldn’t be.
Ain’t we feeling bitter about the whole thing called “love” in our life?!,
Lets Cut those fraying threads of anguish with a sharp knife.
I know,
They put bandaid on our wounded heart,
with their favourite word ,”sorry”
humphh what an art?!!!
Can’t they see what tore our souls apart,
and left us bitter and hard.
We gave them our energy but they never gave it back,
We gave them our heart but they drove a knife and we happily let it crack.
But they don’t know we can use its each and every shard,
and ricochet at their ego’s dart.
The laugh that we laughed before,
The songs that we sang before,
The time that we spent before,
The memories that we cherished before,
The life that we lived before,
They took it all away,
and we couldn’t do much but to cry and roar.
Yes they left nothing of you in you,
left nothing of me in me,
but its better to get loved than never at all or to abhor.
So we set ourselves free,
and buried all those keepsakes, memories and nights under a tree.
Removed the cobwebs of sadness from our eyes,
and put on that infectious carefree smiles,
At last we found the sweetness back
that we no longer required to hide.
but,
Ain’t we still a bit bitter inside??!!

  1. Very nicely worded Neha!
    It is important to acknowledge your feelings, as important as the soar and roar conclusion !

  2. You never fail to leave an impact! When one is almost convinced that this the zenith, of your capabilities, you strike again and outshine your own standard. Have keenly observed that in your yoga postures n now i feel it in your profound words as well!! Whenever I go through your words, I feel this is what I was seeking to read all this while, n this has happened twice now 🙂 how simple n yet profound way to define “why we all are a bit bitter, coz we are not what we should be”. What an absolutely breezy way of expressing a feeling as heavy as bitterness… Your words provide solace Neha, and that means a lot because it is the most absent piece of feeling in this mad mad World!!!
    Way to go… ?

    1. Ohhh my goddd!!
