"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change . . .
courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference."
Quote by _ Reinhold Niebuhr
Many times in life bad things have happen to me,
things that brought me to my knees weeping;
things that I had no control over and could not stop,
they could have broken me but I did not let them.
It is my way to fold my petals when I am hurting,
to want to hide from the world in the dark;
to isolate and absorb the silence like it is a magic,
then, one day unfold one petal at a time, beautiful.
I want people to see my weaknesses and courage,
to see how I have found a way within;
to deal with hurt, pain and grief, to let it go and move on,
everyone has their way and each is not wrong.
Do not worry about me, dear hearts, I will emerge,
a better poet, a better person in the end;
my butterfly wings will flutter, my beauty within will shine,
and I will soar but only after I let go of my pain.
For this part of the journey cannot be helped.
