A TRIP TO THE PAST

When no one appreciates your work,

When life gives you a sudden jerk

When you feel lonely,

When you think, "Am I the only one?"

When you forget to smile

When your life is a 'different' aisle.

When there's no one to comfort you,

When there's nothing you can do.

When you see the mirror on the wall,

When the reflection gives you a call.

When in the mirror, someone you see,

When you ask yourself, "Is that me?".

When you know that can't be because:

When you feel that person in great care,

When you feel them getting love and support,

When you feel they not getting judged at all,

When you see them living a better life,

When you see the truth in their smile.

When you realize that all along, it was you...

When you caught a glimpse of yourself that was not blue

When you feel your cheeks getting wet,

When you realize you’re crying.

When you look at your clenched fists, and tell yourself, "At least you are trying"

When you look back in the mirror and see your present self..

When you promise that you will try to become the reflection,

You saw on the trip to your past,

When you feel hope rising in your heart,

When you realize that the sadness had its last.
