A decade went lamenting for you,
A decade spent ranting about you,
A series of decade has gone by blaming you.
Now I look inwards,
After three century living all by myself- self partnered,
I have learnt that you are not to be accused of not me loving myself enough.
It was because I didn’t accept myself and my surrounding could you make me feel the dearth of dignity……
Now the wings of serenity wraps around me.
Because, this time I know nobody can make me feel that way anymore- vulnerable, helpless, alone despite having it all.
This time I know It’s not my lack of possessions but lack of your integrity and lack of my dignity that we were binded together for so long….
Now I have chosen myself….
My dignity uproars at the city halls…
It was never a war of belonging…
It is a war of dignity and still after thousands of decades I will chose dignity over compromising.
Because, you have taught me well, that I can live without you even outgrew all the needs of being together.
You have taught me how to begin from the scratch,
I have been a zero and the infinity all at once when I chose dignity of mine.
