Damaged soul

Young sweet bubbly soul it was
Full of life and zeal
Just few years old on this planet
Slowly learning the ways of living
Finally time came to face the outside world
With no one to look over
That's the way you grow up

Days passed and it got adjusted to the norms
Making new relations, sharing laughter
Unaware of the evil souls looming around
At times you are too young to know what's good and bad
If it is your fault or some one else's
First blow to its poor soul
Which left it shaken and damaged
But time is tricky.. it heals everything by fading your memory

You get used to the ways of living without any effort
And it just went with the flow
Again unaware of different forms in which darkness can enter
Which will rip apart its soul, again, again and again
And though time is tricky, few wounds cannot be healed even with time.
They loom over you and your damaged soul
Everything seems mere a joke
Only soltitude offers you solace

But emotions, they run high and wild
Taking you to the paths which you decided never to take
Love heals, none can deny
Yet few wounds remain so sour even love fails
You just wait and try to make sense with what is left

But old memories are like uninvited guests
Which frequently knock your door
Pushing you back in the valley of sorrow
Giving you new bruises on their each visit
Stomping and pounding all the little hopes you braved to build
Your past forms a veil against the beautiful future you wish to see
You prefer no company in this journey now
Cutting down chances of any new thrashes

All your precautions go in vain, and someone does manage to enter your forbidden zone
And for a moment, you live in a dream
But soon reality hits and you fall on your face, hitting hard

Again try building a new fence around self
Making sure this time no amount of any emotion can break in
Nothing lasts forever..no love, no hatred, no emotion
Walked in alone, will make a similar exit
There's lot to learn , lot to do

Love can heal, we very well know
but we got used to being damaged souls
