In shambles,

Or am I in pain

I see you at a distance

Or am I just trying to see you in vain.

I hear a call, and it is for me.

But I am scared, scared to know the reality.

A loud noise, a clap of thunder

Flashing in front of my eyes,

When will this end, when will it fade away

I shout out towards the skies.

I start running,

Afraid that I am being followed.

I look back and I see a figure

Just one look tells me that I am done for.

There is no escaping this one,

And there is nothing I can do I am sure.

Why, you ask me? Well, it’s my own ghost,

Now what do you do with those?

I have heard and seen many kinds of shit

But this is new and unheard of.

She knows me in and out, and I can’t fool her, I can’t shout

And as she reads my mind, I hear a sorrowed laugh.

I turn back,

Facing myself, weeping, standing alone

And I can’t help but notice, that she is just like me

Just as sad, as lonely and waiting to see

If I can be friends with her

Cause she too lives parallelly.

I approach her, and she backs off

Well that’s new I wonder

For what has she got to be afraid of.

But then I realize, that she is just as afraid of me

As I am of her, and I start to wonder

At what point of time did all of this start.

To be good with yourself

You need to accept yourself, however you are

And once your conscience is clear,

Neither of you will be afraid or lonely.

All you need is honesty and forgiveness

Cause only these are the real pillars of happiness.

It’s hard to rid off your past

Just as it is hard to make your future.

Make friends with yourself, and never feel lonely

Cause no matter where you are

No matter what you do

That ghost from your past, will always be there with you.
