Memoir

I have walked a few miles

Several left to cover

I encountered rugged terrains

And fancy lands, Wondrous creatures

Some divine, some treacherous

The journey till now

Hasn't been quite kind

But the tough chick

I know I am, I persevered

Sometimes endured, Continued

On my path crisscrossing

Many avenues and transcending

Many fields, I was woke enough

To never succumb down

I was bruised since infancy

By a not so understanding family.

That carried on for too long

I finally rebelled and yet failed

Both literally and figuratively

I also battled with mental illness

Like nobody cared about my wellness

I thank god to have survived

On the brink of my thirties

I can't believe to have thrived
