Moments of Pain

Part 10

Dedicated to my closest college buddy @lakshmisoman. We've been friends for almost six years now.

-----------------------------------------------

Since my Moments of Pain commenced,

The need to nurture my body gradually cadenced.

I avoided ingesting my body with extra care,

Sometimes, twirled in the circle of worldly affair,

Sometimes, curled in the little bunch of my dearies,

At times, seeing their woes and worries,

I subdued my pain.

Sometimes, to be considerate and outlay a grain,

Sometimes, I missed my medicines,

I skipped certain daily regimes,

Few precautionary measures I sidelined,

At times, I didn't felt the strength to care and behold,

If one ailment showed signs of improvement,

Another moved in a direction of disagreement,

If one was calm as moonlight,

Other was like a stormy night.

There are two sides to a coin,

If one side exhibited a picture of mine,

Bearing pain, smile and doing mime,

Other has to be my reckless mind.

I neither Defend,

Nor Excuse,

I admit in my Moments of Pain,

I've been careless and disdain!
