When did you get
so engrossed in yourself
let your fears dominate
every move
you project insecurity
on others
expect them
to feel the guilt
which was never theirs?
When did you
let concealed hatred
incinerate relationships
while you pretend
all is fine
expect a miracle
to restore confidence
which you let
disappear, deteriorate?
How do you
expect vindication,
while making it
your business
to shift blame
criticise
humiliate
others for
living their life?
When will you
extricate yourself
from the mire
of negative thoughts
and look around
to discover
the world still smiles
with you
if you let them….
