A Blissful End
Feeling the cold winds on the feet is bearable
There's always a blanket to shield the hail
But what about the cold hearts that once emitted warmth?
Whose presence was like sunshine ripping through the grey clouds
Safe to say, the wild transformation was nothing less than a tragedy
Losing that sunshine was like experiencing the other side of a fantasy
It comes as a hard-learned lesson that everything's fugitive
'Nothing lasts forever' isn't just a movie dialogue
Neither is it just a mere narrative
It's a realization that blossoms from your battles
When a plain sailing life flips its direction
And distances you from your endeared one's affection
You need to use the loneliness to your advantage
Remind yourself that it's not the first brick life has thrown at you
Like previous times, you need to collect this brick as well
And place it in what you'll later find to be built as a fort of gratitude
Because when you'll realize that every brick had a message engraved
You will have everything to be grateful for
And the path towards your best life will be finely paved
You will acknowledge the fact that you were waiting for a jaywalker's message
It was you seeking temporary glee
But, indeed, it ended with your fragile side's passage
Today, things aren't devastating as you thought they would be
Just find a mirror and look at that glee
God sent you a profound message instead and it is a learning for life
The glow in your smile is all the sunshine you ever needed
And, that your one hand joining the other is a team that'll strive
You are your own savior - a superhero
Every time you faltered, your superpowers amplified
Your strength reached the pinnacle and the weaknesses multiplied with zero
Every time the tears in your eyes resisted meeting the beholders'
Every time you disguised your pain as the bravado of soldiers
Every time you woke up and trod outside your room; your safe haven
All to fulfill the burdening responsibilities on your shoulders
The whole time, you've fed your soul with that much-needed self-assurance
And, if not today, then tomorrow you will find yourself unconquered by your fears
Courtesy of your inner warrior's resilience..
