Sometimes, I have to
Stare
my fears in their eyes; not to scare it away, but to show it I’m worth the
challenge.
Forgive
and forget not because they deserve it but because I deserve it.
Mourn
the loss not to display my weakness but because tears help me to see things
ahead clearly.
Let
go of the past not to free myself of the pain but as future has specified that
in its invite.
Smile
even when I don't want, not to prove anything but to remind myself that I know
how to do it.
Take
the plunge not because life is pushing me to but because there is no way going
back from there.
Hold
on for a bit longer, not for anybody else's sake but for my own sake.
Say
I love you; not as I want them in my life. But just to let them
know what they mean to me.
Fight
my own battles; not to show what I’m, but to know who I am.
Fail
not to experience it but to know there is something that can be better than
this.
Love
despite all that ugliness around, not because I have to live but because I have
a heart.
Hug
someone tightly not to hold them closer but because their touch makes me feel
alive.
Stand
up on my own after a fall, not to prove anything but to know my own strength.
Make
a choice not out of compulsion but because I don't have an option.
Say
it hurts not to let everyone know about my pain but to just save myself from
further hurt.
Believe
it’s not about yesterdays, it’s about the today’s and tomorrows not for anyone
else but for myself.
