MY REFLECTION
I was sitted. Alone. My thoughts were far above, far away from where I was. And I remembered what I was and what I am.
Throughout my existence I have always experienced fear. Why? The reason what was many can relate with. My reflection.
Ever since I was a young girl, I dreamed of leading thousands just like Moses did. Unfortunately my reflections never allowed this dreams.
But one day, I changed. What caused this change, I cannot explain. All I know is that I changed my thoughts and so changed my life. I built myself to overcome my fears and overcome what caused them; my reflection, my stature.
OUR MIND IS DEEPER THAN WE THINK
A flower with a thorn that pricks do not appear as one
instead it comes shining and beautiful
glowing and wanting a hand to pluck it
If only the bearer of the hand knows what the flower holds beneath it.
Ever wondered why we always feel so lost?
That's because the last person we could think of hurting us;
finally becomes our greatest foe.
Indeed, a friend in need is a friend indeed
But what if that friends that stays by your side; still makes your path a slippery one
and your wishes the one he craves for?
Our minds are deeper than we think
only we know what we habor in that sink
We all appear like our goodness is filled to the brink
Yet, most of us are nothing but a thorny flower.
