Waking up
And pulling apart
The crowded dreams
Of yesterday
Holding firm
My determination
To make up
For all my past mistakes.
Wearing my self-love
My eyes glittering
With my own image
Speaking to me
Through the mirror
Shunning away
The fearsome thoughts
I leave for a new day.
Facing the hustle-bustle
On the road
Miles away from solitude
A frenzy hits my soul
I do not remember
The last time
I counted this noise
All along.
As my legs do not stop
I feel more like a creation
Than a doubt
The road seems endless
But I am
Not willing to stop.
Finally it appears
Hidden for so long
I take a deep breath
Inner voices come forth
Anonymous were we
For a reason
They said
You didn’t knock
On your heart
The path was always there.
Break the anonymous silence
And listen to us
We are your
True potential self!
