Today I Am
*Today I am,
The one I never wished,
the one I never treasured,
the territories I never chose to dwell in.
Today I am—nothing much but a selfish one,
Who never thinks of anything that could hurt,
and protects my soul with unwavering guts.
Today I am,
Shaped by endless wars,
yet still walking on my path,
With no regrets,
But unforgettable scars.
I never regret who I am,
But sometimes the laughter of the past echoes in my mind—
Endless chats, never-ending jokes,
Admiring the moon, hugging blankets,
Revealing secrets in the quiet night. **
