If destiny had a choice,
Sufferings would not be chosen
Yet the pain is a consistent
Dream that refuses to elope
With the night.
Strength comes from weakness
Blossoming as a laceration
Which never heals
Despite being wounded.
The central nature of life
Embodies silence
In its concealing voice.
Thoughts are burnt
With a forgetful tone
Unable to challenge
The intrinsic love
Brought forward.
It baffles the expectation
Suppressing the hopes
Fuming once in a while..
Leading to the fate’s
Reflections
In the waves
Gliding to the glaciers
Of our own world.
