The locket

I walked all around the world

Looking for the treasure

A treasure that will make me smile

A locket that will stay close to my heart

Tired of trying and weary of crying

Sitting on a milestone, staring at the road

The path I travelled was not so beautiful

Hurt and betrayed, bruises of treachery

Friends they said, the least they cared

broken promises like a damaged mirror

reflected their true self all a profound act

The flawless scripts they enacted and played

pessimistic thoughts they planted and watered

Eager to see me fall into the pits
deceiving love coated with cunningness

waiting to see me fall and die

Life did not promise to be fair

In cruelty I found a lesson

A lesson to treasure till I die

The treasure was with me all along

Deep within my heart and soul

Waiting for me to find and rejoice

I sat on the milestone smiling to myself

The locket fell into my hands

And there it is close to my heart

Here I am smiling at all

The ones who waited for my befall

Here I rise up and higher

Learning to see the beautiful side of life

Here I smirk at the ones who broke my heart

For I learnt they were not worth a place there

Here I smile in joy and beyond

For I have the locket close to my heart

and the key to the treasure I found
