Struggles Decided Who I Am
"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger."
by Constance La France
struggles, integral part of human life..
I had my share of battle! Am I sad
because I did? No. struggles made me stronger
each time I encountered it on my path.
my mirror? pristine clear water of a lake...
couldn't recognize my own decisive face.
experienced surge of determination
in my heart, whenever faced an obstacle.
my steps were resolute, I walked forward. when
a feeling of miserable emptiness
enveloped me, when I felt imprisoned
in a cage with no window to escape,
flowers didn't bloom in my delightful garden
mellifluous Koel didn't sing the song
she does...I felt breathless...I decided
to find the key to emancipation
a candle burns to illuminate a space,
to spread the aroma to our existence,
painted future with opalescent colours
of the sky, borrowed pleasing fragrance from
ambrosial Jasmine, tall shadowy trees
gave me shade, aquamarine waterfalls
descending from steep mountain-tops, released
in me the harmonious rhythm of life.
no shackles can bind you
when you decide to be free!
