A New Life

A New Life.
by Akbal Niyonkuru Rajab

Beginning has wrapped my heart,
This is a change of being me
I am tired of being anxious,
I need to find my future.

I lived in someone’s else dream,
I was just imitating like a baby learning to walk,
I used to pretend being me,
But really I was not me.
 
I think a lot about me,  
Who really am I?
A human without goals?
Ain’t possess any dream? 
Sometimes learning has become a battle to me.

I had to fight many times but 
I didn’t know what I was fighting for… 
I used to sleep maybe I could find who will I be,
But I was self-deception,
Maybe it was me or maybe I was overthinking.

I need to start over,
This is my resumption.
