"Ah! It went black again!",
I pinched myself, felt the pain.
It looked as if I was arraigned.
I mumbled and felt raw again.

It takes quite a long while to know
Precious little things about the one
With whom you'll live long and go
One day, though you'll still long then.

You come to know that each in fact,
Have a glass wall around us which
Gets sooted, by a sharp word or act,
Feel hurt and stay distant as much.

Perhaps a simple fact comes back
To haunt you. Yes, we indeed hurt
Our dear ones the most, as we lack
Our courtesy. Now, does this hurt?

We reconcile and continue as if
Nothing happened and the wall
Looks brighter, before another miff
Paints it black and things are stalled.

Not all are bold enough to break
That wall and adapt without a fuss.
It it were mutual, it would be great!
What stops us from being the best?

Nice poem RGS. Thanks for posting it here.
Many a times we take our near and dear ones for granted. We do not even realise that we have hurt them. The reason could be very many like anger, ego, frustration. If only we could control our emotions and avoid such occasions, life would turn out to be more pleasant and lively.
Welcome back, after a long time.
Cheers,
RRG

I enjoyed reading and thistransported me to the anthologies that were taught during my graduation in presidency. In those lines akin to Tennyson & Wordsworth one knows to be the best of the obstacles is yes @kaniths i tend to agree with her in toto. The ego is a monster which is difficult to be shoved aside!
Congratulations for being nominated as the best Great Wall of INDUSLADIES.

Thank you @Thyagarajan, for your like and a nice feedback to this post.
For those who are lucky, their ego resemble a backpack which you can unload and go forward.
But for many, its like the butter in milk. They may know about it but cannot act on it that easily. -rgs
