You Are My Inspiration

I stared at the endless faces I know, But they all seem to turn the other side. Every time I meet their eyes and try repeatedly to face them, Then again they turn to the other side. I uttered speeches which they don’t understand, And sometimes they don’t give the chance to understand. There deaf ears stopped the worry words of me And give my presence a chilly existence. Then it comes that heaven never forget me, As it whispers into my ears: ” everybody has a chance and now yours is right here ” I couldn’t understand the whisper at first, I was hopelessly busy transforming my black skin to a white one; Just to fit them. I was put to the corner with ”the refusal items”, Then was put again in “when needed item is used”. Simply I breathed the poised air of their breathing. I felt as I was dying, But I just assumed my illusion. Then heaven spoke loudly to me once again: “Your chance is once again here for you”. Then I heard, Ah! A chance came for me. That chance was not other then you, I learned self existence and self reliance, I learned hope and love, And lastly I came to have faith in my own abilities.
