You were not supposed to carry the weights of the world
That arch on your back has suffered enough
With the dreams in your heart and limitless skies
You set the boundaries of your shine
There’s been few heart aches and disguised smiles
But now its time for you to realize
The sleepless nights are not worth your cries
I know that sacrificing yourself was your favorite crime
You shattered yourself for other’s rhyme
But look at you now, it turned out just fine
That peace of mind and courageous eyes
How you stand tall before your dark side
How you conquered the world marching right beside
The dreams, the hopes of your inner child
You see your reflection in her eyes
That little girl has aged like a fine wine
With love, with respect she defines
That her strivings were a shrine
Not the shrine where faith dies,
But the shrine which people despise
For its glory, for its never tiring fight
I know you made it till the last ride.

- Comment from author about the poem: There have been times where after encountering difficulties, and not achieving the desired outcome made me feel less confident about my self. I know life has a lot to offer so Through these words I want to remind myself to look at the big picture in the end and how these experiences have transformed the inner child that has always hoped for the best. That inner-me will always be so proud of the choices I have made and The kind of person I have become on this journey towards self-discovery.
