Finding myself

Walking on a lonely road;
Accross the paths unexplored,
In the process of reaching my goals;
I figured out, I am all alone...

Path i chose, was tough i knew,
But who gets diamonds, without coal?
All these times, i have been tested
By people whom i have known and trusted.

In the process of fulfilling my dream,
I found myself..in all means.
Never did know myself so well,
Mighty, yet so vulnerable as well.

As delicate as a blooming flower;
As light as a butterfly;
I get scared by a thunderstorm;
I fear rainy nights!

Questions did scare me;
Difficulties did put me down,
But i rose again with all my might!
To acheive all, i dreamt all my life.

I realized why the journey was long;
If one does'nt find oneself,
What is the point of living so long?

I slowly realized what is rightly said,
All that happens is for good!
And all we generally see, is a glimpse,
Of what God has in store for us!

Wonderful insightful writing! I can totally relate to how you have described as your journey and I have written about it as well.

I love your first and second para. Who gets diamonds without coal,loved it!
Would change the "in all means" to something which works better.
I can feel your journey through your poem... keep going!

"I realized why the journey was long;
If one doesn't find oneself,
What is the point of living so long?"

The path of discovery is not an easy one and you have written this well.

yes, testing times teach a lot of lessons to us..and unless one discoveres one's true self the whole point of living is lost. thanks for the review :)
