Emerging from the Dirt

She has made a mistake that she cannot come out from without regrets. But soon she accepts it and moves on. Read on to get a deeper insight.

Drawn towards it,she walked..
To us, not a word she talked!
It pulled her firmly. It did not seem to hurt..
She walked grimly towards the dirt..
She thought she'd be set free,
unfortunately, it was more than just a spree..
Dirt! Oh the word sounds so bad!
But this indulgence never made her sad.
She didn't know what she was approaching
then how could she escape poaching!
She didn't think then. She was a fool!
She is thinking now. She is still a fool!
With dirty nails and dirty hair hair strands..
She returns and cleanses her hands..
But the dirt has percolated..
It has left her isolated..
She now wishes to wash her skin..
But what about the dirt within?
She now knows she can't be clean again..
Yet she resolved to remain sane!
She now wishes for immunity..
Against anything that is even remotely dirty..
She has stepped into a pool of regrets..
Now as time passes she only forgets..
She might be caged inside herself for a while..
But very soon she's gonna learn to smile!
We can only wait patiently and see..
Until she emerges as a bird absolutely free!!

the feelings' of regrets' are being deflected off your words. we all make mistakes, & sometimes, our such mistakes throw us into... the dirt, in abyss that we hardly come to get back to our same sane life. some of my fav. lines are:

She now wishes to wash her skin..
But what about the dirt within?

She has stepped into a pool of regrets..
Now as time passes she only forgets..

all of these lines're much more than a "poetry". it's more than just words or verse of life. you here put down your feelings on paper, & let it speak through your soul.

Such a wondrous, deep movement of thoughts, of the coverings of dirt and earth's barren shadows, of the cleansing that purifies body and soul, and of this dream of freedom; one day. So beautifully moving, Kanishka. Glad to have you here with us! :)
