Last Ride

Roohi

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.
