An Enlightening Trauma

Having a traumatic history isn't always bad While you're living it, yes, your agony blinds all the optimism It closes every gate to keep the buoyancy at bay The worst feeling is to find yourself being the helpless character of your story The one you read about in those overwhelming novels and watched on tv The one you sympathized with and never wanted to reenact in real life But when everything you dreaded; everything over which you gave your sanguinity benefit of the doubt happens And it looks certain to prevail over your high spirits It's time you bid adieu to the naivety and greet a much-needed revelation You have to welcome the enlightenment with open arms You have to acknowledge it, accept it, and make it the cornerstone of your future ways Indeed, once this learning shapes a brand new mindset, you'll be invincible And, this transformation from feeble to fierce will be an example for many!
