a brand new year, a brand new start, is what make things right, i assumed;
plenty of scars - both physical and emotional still attached to myself and refused to leave me in solitude as much as i tried;
foolishly i believed this existence is all but doomed, i have been trying to change all that happened mistakes i have made plenty and i was trying to apologise for all that happened;
i was trying to seek forgiveness from everyone else, for things that i did not even do, i was being naive, i was being misled into believing i am the problem;
as the new year dawned, a new thinking arose within me, why should i change for others? why should i be what others want me to be? instead of seeking forgiveness from others, i decided to seek it within;
apologies for letting my dreams down, apologies for letting myself down infront of the world, apologies for not accepting what i am really and finally, apologies for all the subtle messages that was sent from within;
a brand new confidence sprang forth within me, a belief that i am the supreme being, irrespective of what the world says, i am what i am and try as much, i cannot please everyone and i need not change for anyone;

It’s our own inner light we must follow
changing merely to please another
will surly only lead us down a sad path,
but listening can guide us
by letting us see paths we had not known
were there
and so I listen
but decide
by my own inner light.
Life begins today, bringing hope to the mind as rain brings greener pastures. Across the horizon comes a sparrow of lighting blaze, gazing at the moon light and slowly the shadow of darkness vanishes into thin air like dust off a speeding trail.
This is me
I loved it, described me best. If i could read more of your poetry,i’d be interested to become a fan of yours.
wow, this poem really realized me for being sorry for a broken friendship.i thought i had done all the mistakes and it was totally my fault for the friendship ended. but i was wrong… i can’t be someone perfect.
Wat a thought…beautifully presented and phrased.. 🙂
