When Your Past Calls

Breaking the shackles of time,

And swimming through the ocean of fate,

I brought myself in the future,

Ignoring every pain and hate..

I left behind the things,

Which once filled my empty heart,

Thinking some miracle was waiting for me,

And my life was ready to create its own art..

But what happens when that previous time comes in front of you,

And you realize that the ocean you swam was a circle,

You come back to the point you thought you would never be at,

And you become the part of an unwanted cycle..

Now here I stand, right in front of my past,

Thinking how to react,

Whether to answer it and repeat the cycle,

Or just move without undertaking any act..

Thinking for a long time I finally chose the second option,

Because my past had nothing new to say,

So rather than wasting my time on it,

I should walk towards my future keeping the past away..

I find it a little tough to ignore my past and just walk away,

But I guess that is how it is supposed to be,

Because past is something which cannot be changed,

And I don't want to move with its burden on me..

Without wasting any more time,

And making firm my mind,

I decide to cross the tunnel of fortune,

Leaving my past behind..

So facing this reality I realized..

That when you feel a sense of loneliness developing in your heart,

And you find yourself surrounded by time's wall,

When your life seems to drag you back,

It all happens when your past calls..
