146.Palace built on ruins

 

Palace built on ruins

Money can't buy class 

But my experience is trying alas!

The ruins had part of greed 

To detach from it I agreed

I used to not spend my money for luxurious live

And when I get any opportunity I wouldnt leave

Example I love cake, but I wouldnt buy 

If someone treats ,to have it all I wouldn't shy

Even after I started to earn 

There are many things in me to learn 

Slowly I am in learning process

On corporate grooming afresh 

This includes making my self esteem strong 

My mistakes include grabbing chocolates from my peers seat which is wrong 

In an event ,I happen to eat the biggest cake piece share 

resulting in having nothing left for peer

I have also taken food of someone's share 

And then gave it back when I realised on my part it was not fair

These were the bare basics I was taught

 

As I forgotten them, my self respect struggled a lot 

If someone tries to point out my error in nutshell 

I have cried over and intended to take it personal 

Also I have done things drawn in pleasure 

God has been great in preserving my respect treasure

All this has been the reason of my ruined base 

But God has been kind to give me chance always 

I am rebuilding my palace with strong root 

Putting my efforts and not thinking of ultimate fruit 

These experiences are like the paints of my wall

Different shades of vibrant color with grey waterfall 

I gathered courage to put the first building stone 

To take the feedback positive alone 

Actions should speak louder than words beautiful 

Journalling my true emotions is healing and Impactful 

It takes courage to self reflect on the most embarrassing things I have done

And sharing through poems as I dare to express towards none 

I am building my palace again being sincere and honest 

It can be in a tall space or even size of nest .

As long as the base 

is strong 

it can sustain long !!!
