A place that felt like the happiest ever on earth turns strange all of a sudden. A place that felt therapeutic turned into a hard-to-swallow medicine.
Is it the time or is it the situation or is it the people in it who should I blame I have no clue.
You are still in doubt even when the truth is out you find it hard to believe. Somewhere in the deepest corner of your heart, you want to believe that all that happened was a nightmare.
Although everything that happened was not so good. Your soul searches for a little good to hold on to because it is not habituated to changes that make your throat choke.
Irrespective of the tears you try to hold back that makes it hard for you to speak your heart. The deepest desire to smile back again remains unchanged.
The sudden happenings of a difficult situation succumbs your pained soul and leaves a dent that can never be fixed. Why dont people think thrice before taking a step that spoils everything in one go?
Why don’t they realize the truth that
“To hold on to the thoughts of pain is even more painful than the cause or effect of the pain itself.”
To every person who was once good to me, I want to ask what changed.
Then after thinking throughout a sleepless night, staring at the stars, to get answers, I knew the answers never existed.
I realised if they could change without a second thought why couldn’t I forget the bad and good they did for me?
Still, somewhere my heart finds it hard to let go of the good they did to me. Is it the trust that I had was a mere lie or the love that was showered was an unreal act performed?
I have questions unanswered.
But I have even stopped looking for the answer not because I will not get one but because I have made the courageous decision to not believe a lie once again.
Why hide, why mask, why is being real so hard is what I want to ask the people who turn relationships bitter in a few seconds. Why is it that you dont pause or think of what good things the people you hurt did to you?
If one thought, or one true word or a small little conversation with the right intention can fix anything and everything why is that one right decision to mend things too rare?
If you ever think you still have time to restore smiles, fix a relationship, or say sorry believe me for the better.
“You still have the time indeed”.
Remember it’s never too late to bring back those happy days. There is nothing wrong in believing every problem has a solution as there is no problem in the world that can never be solved.
But if you think you are fine and at peace when you leave a problem unresolved. Accept it as it is because for at least you, you are a priority and for at least you, your peace of mind and happiness matter the most.
Trust me there is no better help in the world than self-help. Smile, live and let live for life is precious.

The flow of words and the raw emotion you captured in such a simple yet powerful way really resonated with me. It made me think about how even the smallest moments can hold so much meaning. You’ve got such a beautiful way of expressing yourself through poetry.
Such a wonderfully written post. People and situations that were once a comfort to us, drift leaving us lonely. But acceptance and the understanding of self is what gives us clarity.
Thank you😊
Ananadan all I can say about this post of yours is that this is one of the finest piece I read from you so far and this one is awesome. I have no words to explain the beauty and essence of this post and you just nailed it. Your Power of Pen is awesome.
loved the line, “to hold on to the thoughts of pain is more painful than the pain itself”. Hence it is best to let go and move on.
Such a heartfelt and honest reflection! It’s true, sometimes, no matter how much we search for answers, the best thing we can do is let go and choose peace. Healing takes time, but prioritizing ourselves is the first step.
Really liked this line, “If they could change without a second thought why couldn’t I forget the bad and good they did for me?”
The emotions you’ve captured in the poem and the way you’ve woven the words to convey how you feel. Loved it!
Yes, self help is definitely the most important aspect of life. I have learnt this the hard way.
Love the line: “To hold on to the thoughts of pain is even more painful than the cause or effect of the pain itself.” So true, holding onto past hurt only keeps us stuck in the pain. It’s important to let go, and make space for healing.
You are a ray of sunshine!
I also believe every problem has a solution , it may not be what you want it to be though.Letting go and moving on has helped me a lot in leading a more positive experience.
I think, we need to read this post over and over again. It’s so powerful.
That’s the sad truth of life. People change and often leave without any explanation. Although it hurts we have to do what’s best for us. Take it one day at a time and let those memories fade away.
We have al been there, right?! I loved your flow of words depicting such raw emotions! They are so honest and relatable.
Your writing is like a breath of fresh air in the often stale world of online content. Your unique perspective and engaging style set you apart from the crowd. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I loved the first excerpt not wanting to believe a lie again. I’m so glad that I’m not the only one to think this way
