Let Me Be
Quiet and Calm I was in my shell
Protected from the ruthless and piercing winds
Unknown about the sheer black realities of dark life
Suddenly the shell breaks open and I venture into the unknown
The alluring red carpet shines but hides dark clouds of ruthless pain
Slowly and slowly I get lost and fade away as the life leisurely slips by
Thrown in the hardships, the dark side of life grips me and crushes me
I struggle to come out of the grey puddle and throw in myself to venture out of the dark
For to get out though I struggle, I scuffle andย ย I survive with deep trust in the mystical life
Life comes up in its own way to lift me and I learn to reap the hardships and struggles of pain
I thank life for all its blessings and the strength it gave me to build and rebuild myself
I survive life and I smile with consciousness!!
