Homecoming
Weary and battle worn as I've been
Much of bitterness I have seen,
I stood my ground, fought for nothing
But couldn't find meaning in anything.
Crying into pillows at dawn was routine
That and my body was depleting its protein
Thought I was going crazy for a while
And sure enough I had
So much of pain buried inside
But still couldn't face mom and dad.
This was something which happened during the lockdown
When everything including life was in shutdown.
Integration was the only loyal friend that I had
Otherwise I would just sit everywhere looking broken sad and a tad self destructive lad.
But in the end I knew I had to get out of this rut
Knew that my mind wasn't pleased with this broken hut.
So now I came home and my soulmates hugged me warmly,
With all the stuff happening now I laugh joyfully and ecstatically.
