I have been through a tumultuous phase in my life last year. Suffice to say I lost myself while fighting my demons until the last drop of energy was spent. I cannot fight any longer. I cannot win. I have surrendered and embraced. All I am doing from the moment clock struck midnight on the new year is singing the hymn for new me.
May I not read the past chapters again, May I not write new chapters in wail.
May I hear voice of others, May I listen to the song of my soul.
May I love me like I loved someone, May I place me before me.
May I be cold to everyone, May I be calm to me.
May I not be angel to someone, May I not be demon to me.
May I change one day at a time, May I walk one step at a time.
May I fly away myself, May I stay with me.
