I first was a victim of her mendacious thoughts
often expressed through her silvery talks
and I invariably got fooled by her deceit
and I broke my heart
drowning into the million ravines of nothingness
until one day
when I sealed my heart,
killed my emotions
and all rationale yore
and I took a leap of faith
to rise above all vicious hope
and sail above many draconian thoughts
to the world of realism
and then in the fold of newness
and an unbraided mind
I survived
