My apologies

I had been an angel To my own heaven I was bestowed, Beauty and tranquility Light wings, my assets Wherever desired, I could take the flight.

I had been an angel

To my own heaven

I was bestowed,

Beauty and tranquility

Light wings, my assets

Wherever desired, I could take the flight.

Apologies


Then myself, tied stones to my ankles

Set the boundaries,

And waited for a perfect dawn

Set the ideals, for someone else’s appraisal

The very which, chained me down

No wonder, my wings vanished

How would you keep away from burning

When you run after the blazing sun?


Valorizing my assets, 

Before turning to ashes

Taking a slow journey back

To save the self

No blames, no excuses

Heartfelt sorry to myself

To whom I owe the biggest apology

No one’s given the more pain

Than I have afflicted on me.
