A Lesson Learnt New

A week before I wasn't sober

Like always, I was drowned in the sea of melancholy,

Hopelessness was what I was mulling over

All I truly wished was to escape from reality.

Life's miseries, at times, drag us down heavily

Like an anchor tied to our feet,

They drown us away forcibly

Away from a beautiful, scintillating dream.

But why should I not give life a bold fight?

Why should I not pump myself up with courage

And face life with my strongest might?

After all I have got just one life

Just one to either stay defeated or to conquer bright.

Ecstasy is the new meaning I have discovered

Utopia is where my soul aspires to be

Gliding through life's atrocity,

With faith as my biggest ally

I am emerging victorious against every difficulty.

Like a phoenix rising up through its ashes

I have transmuted into a human new,

I am the sole controller of my feelings and my thoughts

This is what I have taught myself true.
