How I cannot honor you?

Every moment you brought me a puzzle to solve,

You said this is a challenge and I need to evolve….

You put a question on every step of mine,

I tried hard to answer but you always declined…

You snatched everything that was close to my heart,

I was asked to live when my inner self was falling apart…

You tried to tear me down into bits and pieces,

I thought to fight the battle till my last breath ceases…

I faced the hurricane when I was mere a leaf,

I succumbed to the situations like a fall from a cliff…

Everyone turned out as a stranger, who meant the world to me,

Loneliness pierced through my soul and I yelled for relieve…

You only rewarded me with the things I never asked for,

I was caught in the tides while I can see the shore…

My soul bled, helpless I screamed, I begged,

It seemed as if I was the most unblessed…

With no mercy, no compassion and when pain started to throttle,

A cry came out – WHY ME?

The easiest was to surrender but I decided to look straight into your eyes,

No matter how strong you are, I will get the answer to all my cries…

With all my courage collected, I stood up to give you a woe,

But what I got to know, I mistaken a friend with a foe…

You played the tricks to teach me the lesson of hidden truth,

You introduced me to my strength when I was waiting for other’s ruth…

For all the enigma and confusions,

I learnt to take my own decisions…

For the obstacles that came on my ways,

I learnt to carve my own path, whatever anyone says…

With every fall I learnt to rise again,

I can stand up to any storm or hurricane…

Those who turned their backs when I was in my lows,

I learnt to distinguish my friends and the foes… 

For all anguish and pain I’ve been through,

I learnt to laugh at the blues…

For everything that I lost as I walked down the aisle,

I learnt to be self-sufficient and to move on with a smile…

With every pointed finger I learnt to believe in me,

I learnt to live to the fullest in every moment of thee…

For every eye full of hatred I learnt to Love again,

I grew and progressed with every laugh of disdain…

You are the best teacher, how I cannot honor you,

LIFE all I want to say is – Thank You :)
