Dear Me,
I have tried to be them,
I have imitated to be them,
I have tried to be you,
And in the process I lost myself.
I have seen the hidden,
I have heard the unsaid,
I have smelt the non scented,
And I now silence is my best response.
I have enjoyed the life benefits,
I have swallowed the loses,
I have have learnt in a hard way,
Life doesn’t always flow softly.
I have felt the pains,
I have been relieved at times,
I have been known a lot,
That at times fighting isn’t bad.
I have been rejected by close people,
I have been accepted by strangers,
And I have learnt the unexpected,
The world at times offer what you don’t wish..
I have given my best,
But still getting the worst in return,
I have sowed seeds which never germinated,
But still I am optimistic.
I have tried in West,
I have toiled in the East,
I have gone North and South,
But still all seemed to be test.
Now I have let go what I can’t control,
And focus on what’s on my hands,
Since I can’t change my past,
So I only have today.
So today I want to compete with me,
To better my yesterday’s me,
Life is mine and not theirs,
And so life must go on.
