Once I thought sunshine
Idolized the very meaning of beauty.
Once I thought smiles
Were the hidden language of the soul.
Once I thought words
Were a secret remedy to heal a shattered heart.
Once I thought friends
Were a part of me I lost.
Once I thought darkness
Never saw light.
Once I thought I walked alone
In a sea of lost faces.
Once I was afraid that being me
Was never going to be good enough.
Once I thought I was right.
I was wrong.
I learned that rain
Is all the more better to dance in.
I learned that smiles
Deceive the reading eyes.
I learned that words
Rebuild as well as destroy.
I learned that friends
often come and go.
I learned that light
Pierces through darkness’ thick wall of lies.
I learned I had company
Everywhere I went.
But most importantly
I learned that fear is what hold us
Back
From being the best person we could be.

I can especially identify with the lines you wrote
"Once I was afraid that being me
Was never going to be good enough.".
At times I still do but I understand exactly what you are saying here.
Well done

For everything happening in our lives, there is a reason.......to learn.
The only way how someone can be happy with you..is when you are happy with yourself. No one else can make you happy, only you can do that. Other people are only there as a high light in our lives and as passengers along the ride.
Enjoy your life, in good but also in bad times.
Very nice write.....very relating.
Huggssss,
Nats. |

This is excellent. It took a very long time in life to learn these lessons. I once walked in darkness, then I found light and life.
