That which sets my heart ablaze. I need to find it
I heard happiness knocks on doors. I need to build one
Started working on these flaws and now it’s a million more to go. It’s a long journey and my baby steps are now steadier
I’ve always preferred my insides inside and now my new preference is glow from the inside
I’ve always been good at building walls around me. Now I’m building hopes
Kindness sometimes slips through my fingers but this time I’m creating a space in my heart
I know on many days I’ve been best of friends with darkness but maybe I need to give light a chance
It’s a long list and only a few boxes are crossed
I hope I have the energy to cross all the boxes
And when I finally do I hope the whole of me will finally be in symphony
I hope that when I finally do, I stare at the skies like I always do only this time not in sadness
