Analysis of Alive again
Turmoil that has been burning in my chest is all gone.
The frustration that was a grudge has disappeared.
The fear of starting over is now history.
Forgiving myself is the first chapter.
Now the reality has sucked in....
This is my life and change is necessary.
I'll bend and make my own rules
I'll stick throughout the boundaries I set.
I'll pay no attention to man that's gonna mislead me.
My mind is sober and clear!
Healing in progress and accepting.
Lesson learnt, "life is an incredible journey with no manual".
Hardships have encouraged me to be an open minded person.
If ain't fighting for success then what value does life has?
Wisdom is when you let go and have enough maturity, seeking peace all the time.
The reward in life is simple given a second chance to rectify the mistakes and learning to crawl from nothing to something.
