I am glad you are gone...
The Sojourn from the wild nights of fancied dreams,
Has brought me back to myself,
I realised that a year has passed,
And all that I lost was just an illusion,
Dreaming, working on the dream and dreaming more,
And suddenly something shook me hard,
I woke up startled from a bad dream,
A nightmare that seemed to be a fading away,
Leaving traces of its disappointment like wet footmarks,
For not having conquered me for ever,
I am glad I cannot seem to find the jaded old me in the mirror,
I bring my face closer to the mirror and find a faint light of hope,
Glowing and growing bigger with each passing moment of the New Year
And deep within my conscience is clear and glad to be away,
From everything that was meant to be gone for good.
