The Better Of Me

there was a time when I was still seeking that unexplored part of me ..
a journey well travelled :)


Life was never a tiresome journey ...
I could walk and walk and never stop..
Each day to learn a new theory ..
Each incident a lesson learnt ..
With the good and bad ..
the loving and the hating..
The pain and suffering...
the joys that kept me smiling ..
something would try hard enough..
to crush a soul ..
under the feet of destruction..
that taught me the better of life..
to simple nod and walk ahead..
I caught myself up in emotions ..
Also a few things of which I had never dreamt ..
I could not stop anymore ..
Had walked too far ahead ..
I did think to slow down for once ..
But, what if I could never pick up pace, again?
I would simply close my eyes and move on ..
Knowing a better part of myself ..
Did I tread too long living for others?
Did I see myself dependent?
Did the sense of reason run out of me?
Did a part me fade away?
I couldnt have have known ..
until a strength walked passed..
looked back and passed a peaceful smile ..
held my hand ...
it led me on ..
That was a touch of love ..
there was a certain warmth ..
there was a certain charm and protection ..
I knew then nothing could go wrong ..
I learnt to introspect ..
I learnt to keep quiet ..
I learnt to observe the good and worse ..
And react when required ..
It was a motivation ..
It was a driving force ..
Life seemed to be mocking me once ..
It seemed to be applauding me next ..
Such irony when you find a precious gem ..
when all could walk over were slippery pebbles..
Thats when I questioned ..
thats when I seeked ..
I was on a lookout ..
To find a different side of me ..
I closed my eyes and listened ..
To the music in everything ..
I learnt to trust something without questioning ..
because that someone knew a better part of me ..
cuz it made me live .. made me think ..made me realise who I am <3 <3
