As I sit in the window seat of the bus,
I started memorizing the verse,
Of a story I will be narrating to my family,
Of Love, Life and Bravery.

The mighty world have seen my struggle,
Where my dreams have crumbled,
Where I have lost all my battles.

But to my family,
I will crack jokes on my pain,
Laugh at my worthless gains,
Talk of a dream whose only memory remains.

Boast of a life which is fake,
Because their dreams is my life,
Their hope is my story.

I hoped to be their savior,
Of all the dreams they have seen,
And to fulfill all their prayers.
Maybe not now but surely in the future.
I will try a little harder.
But for now I will memorize the story-
I have made “Line by Line”.
Unsettled and scared, as I build up courage to move every step,
Into a future which is very unknown.
As I drift into the dream,
The depth of my heart still knows the fear of uncertainty.
What is my dream and what is my purpose?
I fail to answer it as I stand in the silence between hope and doubt.
Searching for signs in shadows and clouds.
Each choice I make feels like a question,
Echoing louder than the answers I don’t yet have.
But still I walk — not because I know the way,
But because staying still hurts more each day
Confused, scared to move on
A world so beautiful, bathed in light,
Filled with love, so warm, so bright.
Colors dance, as the flowers bloom,
Their gentle fragrance paints the room.

Within this wonder, I found you,
A melody sweet, pure and true.
Hand in hand, through time we glide,
Love’s soft rhythm which our hearts’ guide.
I believed in the power inside,
That waited silently by my side.
The power of manifesting and waiting,
Of learning and praying.
The odds were high, the road was tough,
The efforts many, but never enough.
Still, I waited, through doubt and fear,
Waiting for the moment to finally appear.
I waited as my heart embraced each fall,
Waited till I could rise from it all.
Then, freed from struggle, I could see,
I was standing right in front of my dream, finally.
My emotions are here and there,
Scattered, everywhere.
I try to collect them, yet I’m tossed,
In this chaos, I feel so lost.
Forsaken are my feelings which are left untold,
My thoughts lie hidden, dark and cold.
Unspoken words, unwritten lines,
In their silence, my soul confines.
I wander through this empty space,
Seeking fragments, a fleeting trace.
Amidst the void, I search in vain,
To find myself and ease this pain.
Though scattered still, I’ll mend each part,
And piece together this broken heart.
A hollow inside, I feel within,

A broken heart and a tattered skin.

I stretch my hand, but nothing to reach,

Bound within the walls, that silently beseech.

The darkness that surrounds, swallows me whole,

Scattered are the fragments of my soul.

Has my life always been this way?

Or is it my mind that leads me astray?
An unforeseen situation has finally came to an end,

A flicker of light now guides me again.

The path, once unknown, now stretches ahead,

Leading me forward from where dreams had end.

The future I dreamed is now here in my sight,

A vision fulfilled, a shining new light.

I welcome it gladly, my heart open wide,

For this is the moment I’ve longed from inside
