About this piece
My poem is about the various trials and tribulations in my life. A bad , loveless marriage sapped away my energy. To tide over the tough times I turned to writing. Venting my feelings through poems helped me survive. This poem is special. I weaved words everyday and survived.
I thread to thread,
My angst, my pain,
The turmoil in my mind,
With the confusion in my heart,
Juxtaposed, intertwined,
Knotted and
I thread to thread,
The diverse voices that resound,
Forcing me to have silent monologues,
With the ‘scarred’ me,
I thread to thread,
Sanity when insanity engulfs me,
For I want to live,
Stay alive,
To enjoy the thrills,
Of everyday life,
And each moment,
I thread to thread,
To convince myself,
To step over the traps,
Set by those ‘mean’ others,
I thread to thread,
For I believe,
I am precious,
I thread in a manner,
That the black thread,
Of disappointments and betrayal,
Turns into one of myriad colours,
I sigh in relief,
I laugh at my victory,
For I managed to thread,
A colourful, cozy quilt,
To keep me snug,
A safe cocoon,
From where I would fly, soar,
After a short, meaningful rest,
Rejuvenated and refreshed.
