When The Mighty Falls...

I am guilty of giving into daily rigmarole that life threw at me this year and not investing enough time  in what unwinds me instantly- penning down my thoughts. So here I am, back again to where I belong - the world of my words.

This one is about the Mighty ones. Each of us have few of them in our lives. We build our world around them and center everything around their happiness, likes, dislikes etc and forget our own selves in this journey. And then suddenly one day, appears a crack. It starts with small signs here and there. An unanswered call, a message that was never replied to, streaks of selfish requests, not being available when one needed the other one, running away from candid conversations and the list goes on.

The mighty one knowingly or unknowingly start exposing a side of theirs which was never known to the ones who hold them close to heart. Either it’s pretence to get away or it’s actually their reality that they cant hide any more. Usually it’s the second one. 

And then comes the fall from grace. Once the mighty one falls, the world that the ones who loved them, built around them ...crumbles. There’s no looking back after that especially if the mighty one don’t realise that they were at fault. Acceptance never comes easily to them and denial takes their dear ones even farther away. 

To all the mighty ones who have fallen from grace in front of their dear ones this year, this is all I want to tell you- 

“Close your eyes and bend your head to think. It takes a lot for the one who loves you, to the core, to let the world they built around you shatter in pieces that cannot come again together. It takes a lot for them to finally say enough is enough and decide to walk away. Put yourselves in their shoes and for a minute just try and imagine what they might have gone through because you chose not to mend your ways. You may not be able to bring them back in your life but atleast have the decency to do right by them so that your karma gets cleansed a bit and it may decide to haunt you less.”

This song speaks the story of a fallen one so aptly and maybe... just maybe it will teach you the lesson that you should learn first on the road to redemption.
