They commanded-
“Open your pinions
Take the flight”
You-
Soared through blind pages
Of destiny which
Drenched you in icy frost
Heavy and heavier
Weight of the world
Upon your shoulders.
Crashed into the illusion
Of fame and fortune
Blocked the faint reflection
Of your heart’s bloom
Now Dear-
Hear who’s laughing
Radiating your anguish
Do you regret?
That path untaken?
Are you not haunted?
By dreams,
Untouched, still broken?
Who will you hide from?
You are your own destruction…
-Sanghamitra Chakrabarty

Both the picture and the words are haunting, indeed. Life: it’s all about choices, and when we can’t see the end, how do we choose at the beginning? How can anyone know the consequences? We live in the world ruled by escapees from Pandora’s box, don’t we.

Wow Sanghamitra. Very deep poem. I can feel the words here. Very well written.
‘Untouched, still broken?
Who will you hide from?
You are your own destruction…’

by the way, I use this moment to ask for a favor…
I finally revealed my face, made a song and posted it on my page. I’m trying to get exposure so I’m asking if you can share the song with 5 people, and ask each of them to share it with 5 people etc…
