Rejuvenation

She was an independent
always knowing what she wanted
She was a believer
but, some things just didn’t fit
She had qualms
though it never got the better of her
She was cynical
hoping to be proven wrong
She had dreams
too vivid to be forgotten
She loved
unconditionally
She never ran behind
money or fame
She trusted
largely, straightforwardly
She woke up each day
promising she was gonna make it
She was confident
about her goals
She forgave
however, seldom forgot
She viewed things
with admiration
She worked
religiously
She helped
by going lengths
She was sensitive
which, she hardly showed
She hated crying
it made her feel weak
She was compassionate
empathizing with people
She chose to change her perceptions
when what she saw didn’t please her
She was adept
at what she enjoyed doing
She hoped
she might just get lucky
She hated getting even mildly sad
it put her in a powerless position
She changed
what wasn’t right
She was optimistic
about those she couldn’t
She adapted
changes that took her by surprise
She smiled
through all the times
She lived life
in a way that pleased her

                 Then someone came along
someone, who changed a lot of things
                                She experienced
                                      new feelings
                                    She observed
                               novel altercations
                                 She understood
                              how it felt special
                                      She realized
                                  a unique touch     
                                She got swayed
                       in a wave of emotions
                          She couldn't believe
                              if she was awake
                                She even began
                        to change her insights
                                   She felt happy
        she was gonna be proved wrong
                                 She felt pleased
    as that someone was going to do it
                                She overlooked
her understanding with great expectations      


After a while, something went wrong
Someone changed
She got confused
whether it’s her or that someone
She got crushed
when another disappointment hit her
She decided
to take it in her stride
She refused
another let down
She protested
varying alarming signals
She fought
changing circumstances
She lost it
when there was no hope
She stopped giving heed
to growing expectations
She revolutionized
her thoughts
She digested
past occurrences
She inculcated
fresh hopes

She looked forward
to new-fangled beginnings

All this while,
She never gave up
trusting
She wanted to
be a good person
She despised
being just thought of as one
She continued to live life
in a way that pleased her
