GET RID OF THE DUST

GET RID OF THE DUST

Years of replaying the same record,
an eternity spent watching the same movie.
I kept repeating the same blunders,
kept taking the wrong steps.
I wanted to reconstruct, to correct myself.
But creatures of habit, aren't we?
For how long can we conceal our sins?
How long can we be oblivious?
Introduced to the bearer of light,
I could see the filth, that had gathered in my world.
Mindful of the wrongs, I began to accept the rights.
I guess it is time for me to start afresh,

and get rid of the dust!

What an amazing poem, Maumil! You never fail to surprise me! Extremely well-written. You come up with the simplest concepts and turn them to brilliant poetry. Great job!:)

The exhausted repetition is so clearly visible here. The lines are superbly constructed. They make me think of all the songs I've been listening to for years and all the movies I've watched over 20 times. :D Very well done. :)

I loved this question cum answer. It is so true and genuine. Absolutely splendid work you've done here! :)

I loved the way you said ''get rid of the dust'' as it illustrates perfectly that you've been like this for a long time and feel the need to change yourself. Also, using the title as the last words of your poem seems like a great idea to me. :) The poem is really, really good. Keep up the good work! :)

Wonderful poem Maumil :) I'm very impressed with the imagery you constructed and the amount of emotion I felt (caused by relation at the moment). I think it's amazing how most people go through this stage at least once in their lifetime and it's nice and simple to were it isn't lecturing. Thank you for sharing :D

All we can do is push the past aside and start fresh my friend. Sometimes we get lost and just rest in the same depressing spot but only we can change it :) Good work
