Aug 24, 2018 - This Day, I Smile!

A wandering soul, shattered heart,

Searching for those pieces, 

I met you, saw you smile.

Love is what you were looking for, 

Those pieces I had, gave it all.

I knew you weren’t happy,

Asked me to set you free.

I did, with what’s left of me,

Saw you walk away, I did smile

Because you are my pain, I bear.

Living in your memories

With a hope floating in darkness.

Your voice it echoes even in silence,

No tears, no heartbeat, just emptiness. 

With a prayer,

May all the stars keeps you safe.

May all your dreams come true.

Live each moment, be happy

And in your happiness, I smile

Because you are my pain, I bear.

The Wandering Soul

You live in a world of unlimited choices, what exists today may not be there tomorrow.
People will underestimate your expressions, emotions, your kindness, or the way you care.
They could perceive you wrong, take you for granted.
They'll control you, judge you, manipulate you, strip you down, betray and leave you in the dark.
Taunting words, broken promises, death of a loved one, all could emotionally destroy you.

You’ll fall, bleed to death.
You'll pick up what’s left of you, and continue walking.
You are taught not to break a heart, even those who can’t handle yours.
You let go, pray for those who hurt you the most, for their happiness, they deserve better.
Your age, body, skin, choices will change.
Your scars will remain, you’ll have more wounds, and your life...will change with time. 

What matters is...

You’ve known pain like your own shadow.
You are born with a loving heart.
You’ve known to love, genuine and unconditional.
But, you don’t need a coward who’ll awaken your love but can never love you.

What matters is...

You are built in fire.
You are born for a reason, and you’ve found yourself.
You are determined.
You are still standing even after the worse storm, that too with a smile.
And that makes you strong, brave - a true survivor.
