I traveled.

I walked.

I ran.

I stumbled down,

But I rose.

I met happiness.

I met pain.

But above all,

I met you; who

Both gave me happiness

and pain.

I laughed.

I cried.

I loved.

I hated.

There was love; But

there was hatred.

There was passion; But

there was anger.

But above all,

there was you; who

both made me laugh

and cry…

made me love

and hate.

Dichotomies of life

I have known;

Man is born

to rest and work

to smile and cry

to live and die

to love and hate.

Now I walk.

I run.

I gather the pieces

of shattered dreams

of a bruised ego

of a broken heart

of an amputated spirit

of an aching soul

Healing… Me!

For after pain…

forgiveness;

After tears…

laughter,

After hatred…

love…

And after death

comes new life.

Building… a new Me!

I start my journey

carrying a smile

carrying strength

carrying wisdom

carrying hope…

hope that soon…

soon in this life

I’d meet reality

…real laughters

…real joy

…real peace

…real love.

For I am new

And it’s all because of

You.
