Life

A Poem by Ioana Mihai

Ones life is a story
Of old beauty and pain,
Memories as a rain
Storming in the mind…
Vulnerable innocence smashed
When best dreams got crushed
And loved ones left wounds
That sometimes may ooze…
Not only the heart cries,
Tears roll down the eyes,
With a face buried in own hands
Sinking in those bitter chapters of the past…
Talking to myself all over again
How is this my life?Is it me this one?
I can’t stay in this, I must make a plan.
Wipe the tears away, tell the heart to shut
Just a little bit, be kinder to yourself,
Rise your head above all that stormy rain
Let it go and heal from all of the pain.
See and care each wound accepting the truth,
Staying down is what would be a real shame,
Do not let yourself be the weak to blame.
Rise your eyes to see there’s still light so near
There’s still hands to reach and good souls to feel
After storms sun comes, then the rainbow too
Just keep up your head to look around you.
What you wish and how to construct your life
Where you dream to be, take a step, then two…
Building brick by brick, a new stronger self
Leave behind the doubt, embrace hope again,
Smiles come after tears, courage after fears
Joy after the sorrow, win after defeat..
Dear me and you, the old and the new
Make the peace for now, grow and love again
There’s still much to share and so much to shine
There’s so much to give and also receive…
Every day will be better than today
This is the new life I want to live by…
