Thoughts in Rhyme 🌼: Reflections

Sheena Singh#

Looking at the mirror

I pondered at the reflection: 

the time line of my life 

flashed before my eyes…

I spent my entire life 

believing in being right

fighting against all odds,

the dark and the mighty..

standing up for justice.

 I was being someone 

 who's just upright..

I was being someone

who’s just ME..

Most call it a gift                

being brave to fight

against all odds..

I see it a rift;

In my plans to have 

all besides me

I lost the love of those

who mattered the most..

I sang and I preached

with all my heart, 

it was the only part 

 of who I was meant to be.

The day I would know 

 I can never let go 

 my rage for perfection,

 I know,to God I'm near...

  I just wanted love, 

  this gift of obsession

  for everything that’s sane

  seemed a curse from above! 

  Shall I pretend not to hear 

   nor see or feel

   the vice of being right? 

   block my conscience

   else my pains shall double?

  The Lord made it clear 

  that i grow stronger..

  the good, the bad, the ugly 

  would add to my strength.

   Be aware who you are. 

   from yourself, do not hide

   The truth cannot hide 

   forever in lies.

. 

  Thank you God 

  for making me see, 

 that I'm good enough 

  if I be just ME...
