Fears try and
Nibble away
At the confidence,
Wagging tongues
Frantically grope
For a 'reaction';
The unusual drama
Of fluctuating behaviours
Is baffling,
There's no point
In being sad
Or sorry...
Just move on.
Memories
Will always be
Prejudiced
By the moody mind;
The Wrong
May have been Right
Or vice versa;
Isn't it futile
To over analyse
And procrastinate
Endlessly;
Do shed a few tears,
For you must,
And then,
Open the door
Of new discoveries...
Just move on.
Everyone judges
Everyone else,
Those who have
Better things to do,
Maybe judge a little less;
Do not be afraid
Of random 'judgements'
For, they are
Written on water,
Destined to be
Washed away;
Shake hands
With your Talent,
Smile...
Just move on.
