Speak Yourself #8 : The Never Land

She can't shake
this thoughts,
of being in a place, similar
this thoughts,
sprouting inside her
this thoughts,
of starting over,
of starting, yet again,
from ground zero
thinking, if this cycle
will stop repeating ever?

She dreams, no
but she remembers..
the boy, who flew
alongside her
the boy, whose dreams flew
alongside hers
the boy, whose dreams won't die
just like hers
the boy, whom she knew will return
back to Never Land
like her, just like her!

-Krutika Tawde

Concluding thoughts :
Starting over is the most difficult part coz there is memory of things going wrong, memory of efforts spent in creating oneself.
But starting over requires erasing that memory without letting the dreams die.


P. S. It could be better understood if you have read the previous parts of my Speak Yourself series!
