A LETTER TO ALL THE LETTERS
I NEVER POSTED

image.png

Hello there! My pile of regrets,

Hello there! my pile of reliefs,

Hello there! my pile of shame,

Hello there! my pile of incompleteness.

​

 

Ah my first group, largest in number, filled with despondence.

You were the ones for whom I took the most time.

Making you reach your destination,

would have made my life less excruciating.

​

 

Oh my second pile of letters, inexorable one,

posting you would have made me swoon,

would have meant an end to my love life.

Would make me an imbecile being.

​

 

Aww, the third pile - everybody can relate

Looking at you I get the gist,

of my awkward and cringy teen years.

To my surprise, you make my face glum and smiling.

​

 

You took a journey without destination.

You guys together make a face,

My face, so exclusive known only by me.

A face that never matches the reality.

​

 

Had you guys been posted

my life would have been better?
