It
may sound like that, but this little poem is not about me. It is about YOU.
Your spirit, your courage, your determination of not giving up. Almost everyone
of us sometimes look into mirror and talk to ourselves, albeit
subconsciously...especially during worst times of life.
This
is a straight salute to all of you, for not giving up.
"I saw myself,
looking at me, with utmost expectations. I realised that I depended totally on
me, and there was no other person who could support me and help me, besides
myself.
There was no other, and
there will be none.
It was always me, alone
in my prison.
Locked away from the
entire world while I was alone with my thoughts mundane
I realised that no one
could take me out of my grief, and this unendurable pain.
While, I, besides myself,
totally depended on me,
“Me” being the master of
my fate, had to decide what it would be.
I decided I would never
rely on others,
And I would be bold when
I face life’s trials and tribulations.
When I myself would
depend on me,
No one else would become
my priority.
I would never look down
upon myself,
Supporting myself, I
would never expect any stranger’s help.
Besides myself, I would
always be there;
Be the weather rough, be
the weather fair.
I won’t let anyone tell
me I cannot.
I know I can do it, no
matter what.
If I love myself and
trust myself, and no one else but me
In spite of all my
drawbacks, shortcomings and idiosyncrasy,
I have a strange gut
feeling inside me deep
