Picture This- Symbol of Hope

Hey! You free spirits!
You are so blessed!
Unlike me!

It's too tough
to stifle our emotions
inside a closed space.

Because it whirls round us
again and again
like the leaves swirl

But you the free spirits
swerve everywhere
as there's no limit

Oh, the free spirits
I envy you
You are so blessed!
Unlike me

Hey darling
few days before
we were you

we are your alumnus
we were there
tolerated the torments

Now we are free spirits
Trust, believe and be patient
Miracles do happen in your life
