We are a confused generation

Eager to be in a relationship

and yet scared when the other one gets close

Neither willing to socialize

nor courageous enough to be alone

Silver lining

Back turned to the past
A dreadful past
Dark Shadows and reflections of pain
Visions of dark mountains and webs of confusion
Beclouding my mind
Slowly,
I build up courage and forge ahead
Beads of sweat rolling down my forehead,
Tears of salt and pepper roll down my cheeks
Although, currents of fear wash through my body like cold water,
I still forge ahead
And hope for a better tomorrow
My body develops resilience
Resilience to the storm and wind
I develop thick layers
Layers and layers of bicep and triceps muscles
Muscles of strength
Strength to endure the unspeakable
An awakening to a better tomorrow
With the new dawn comes strength
Strength to forge ahead
A glimpse of light,
Fragment and fragments of light
In a moment, darkness is gone
I see rays of sunlight
And I smile
But I’m not the same
I’m weary, exhausted
And broken
But yes, Broken is beautiful
