Poem, Simran Haji: Chains

Chains…
Time leaves you behind,
When all fails, you wish you could rewind,
The moments when you are depressed,
And your feelings are suppressed,
Although many tears won’t hesitate to flow,
Nothing now can heal your sorrow,
This pain that is unbearable,
Leaving a wound, to make it memorable,
The love which you need, and for it day and night you plead,
Still, no one understands you,
It is clear that their love to you was never true,
They are never reluctant to drive me ballistic,
And their smile! Completely unrealistic,
One day, I shall leave it all behind me,
All these chains, that bind me.
