Eye Opening 2012 Part 2.

  

As I said in my previous post I learnt a lot about people in 2012. Many people close to me have been there for me unconditionally and never doubted me, even when I doubted myself. On the other hand I did get stabbed in the back by a few people who I held in high esteem,  rightly or wrongly. This taught me the real meaning of friendship with oneself. I have often been my own worst enemy, but after discovering my own inner strength, I have chosen to be my own best friend.That is my main resolution not just for 2013, but for life.

I composed the following poem last night as the year started drawing to an end. It is basically describing the journey I have been on this year.

My Eye Opening Journey

I look forward

and try no to look back.

A long winding road

now the journeys end.

To many I have said goodbye,

As they threw stones at my window,

when I picked up the glass,

no one to clean my blood stained hands.

As a single passenger

I travelled the world,

eyes always wide open,

now the opening of my third eye.

Unfounded smears on my character,

I pulled out the daggers out of my back,

the wounds sometimes hurt,

But they slowly fade into the mists of time.

I met a fellow passenger

and reunited with a lost soul,

our two worlds came together

we shared tears and laughter.

The loved ones who were there for me

When  I crumbled,

They put me back to together,

I found myself again.

I watched my little one grow,

she gave her heart to many a good cause,

venturing into the world alone

by my side, never letting me fall.

I look back with gratitude

I had some lucky escapes.

I venture into the new

and rise above the sorrow.
