Reflecting On Myself



I sometimes get the feeling, that I myself need
healing. That possibly I am the one, who's yet
to overcome, why I feel so numb. I can't
remember when, I felt whole again. I've been
through so much pain, even as I danced out in
the rain, I knew my life would never be the
same. I try hard to disregard the fact that I am
alone. I have come to the conclusion that I'll
never feel at home. That is how I was thinking
every day, by my thinking this way, I was
keeping my dreams at bay. Life is hard to live
with a negative mind. Every day you need to
find, a way to have the time, to discover
yourself a sign. A sign why you are alive. A
reason to survive. When you look at the big
picture, who are we to differ, that a positive
mind leads to a happy one. And when you
realize that you've won.
