I Try Better Now

I try better now, I try to be better now
I fight with my broiling tears that pour out like a shower of molten lava
And warn them to stay inside and never even dare to trickle out
I fight with my heart that drags and stumbles down with the onerous weights of pangs
And order it to carry the burdens of brokenness alone in solitude adorning the masks of cheer
I fight with my wounded soul
And hush its screams of plight by gagging its mouth shut.
I fight with my burning wounds
And command it to cover up the agonizing pains with pretty bandages that camouflages the dripping red.
I try better now, I try to be better now
For love is to be earned with investments in stinging pains and laughing masks

Hi! I’m Eivine, a writer who loves to prance around with words! Writing had been my ultimate passion ever since I learned to hold my pencil in the toddler days. Being a single child who didn’t have the luxury of YouTube, cartoons and video games of the present generation, my besties for life where books! My mother was the one who introduced me to the fantastic world of words that wove tales and poetry. One day when she returned from work, she had a big book in her hand. It was Enid Blyton’s “The Naughtiest Girl In The School.” I took it awestruck and asked her how I’m going to finish reading such a big book. She asked me to try it once and to both her and my surprise, I finished reading it in a stretch without even taking a break. That was my first step into the world of books, words, reading, and writing.
