all these thoughts of
what’s going to happen to me
swirl around unabated;

fuelled by the dreams of yesterday
with an aim to stand tall against all odds
i nurtured this desire for a long time;

falling at every other step,
i picked up the pieces and moved on
hoping to succeed where others have given up;

in the middle of the night
as the demons of the past
tried to play havoc with my life
a gentle breeze from the open window
drifted in, giving a breath of inspiration
and igniting this hardened soul;

as the world slowly started coming alive,
the morning light filtered in
signalling the end of the darkness
and the beginning of something wonderful;
