so many things left unsaid
as if hidden under an invisible carpet
where we all went, inadvertently
and I kept all our secrets spare
from the world’s greatest affairs
that will catch up with us in the end
in a different form and shape
holding on to old pains
when we all know that’s not the way
decimated by diseases of all kinds
physical, mental, and combined
we all know we are one team
just left unsaid, revealed
antagonistic attitude from all of us
misunderstood, pushed off the deck
bearing the lack of good intentions in mind
what was all this for?
we only have one life
so, what if we drown
in this chaotic, unpredictable flow?
what if we helped each other out
be on opposite sides
unable to return
to the original calm state of mind?
