A Peek Into My Soul

"Poetry is a cure to me; It crawls deeply into the darkest corners of my soul and slowly, gently, heals."   


     People change like the seasons, she learnt
     Warm like the spring breeze in one tick
     Icy, like the median of a winter in the next
     Why did they have to change? She pondered
    
     The short nights of summer passed
     And so did the fleeting days of winter
    
     Silence dragged on and she wondered
     Is it because she clings onto their branches
     Like the leaves do in the Autumn skies
     Or simply, because she bares her soul
     Like a peacock dancing in the rain;
     Watching the sky paint itself with a million stars
     She realized; maybe it's not her after all
    
     Rain had to come to fill what Summer had drained
     Spring had to come to revive Winter's ruin 
     And virulent people had to leave...
     
     All so she could learn to love herself 
     the way she truly deserved to be.
