I see ME

And I thought that was all it was about

I thought that was the end

So I, at that very instant closed my eyes

I didn’t want to see where my feet led me next to

I was all ready to fall down deep,

Deep into the darkest corners

From where I wouldn’t want to see myself

Or neither wished anyone ever found me out.

But the very instance I took the next step

There was this mystic silence that enveloped me,

I could feel for the first time a hand held me,

It held me tight,

I wanted to see who it was

I wanted to ask who it was

I wanted to hear who it was

I didn’t, I didn’t utter a word,

Was too scared to believe

That all I felt then was true,

This silence

Which I always yearned for was

Here and I was a part of it

I still didn’t open my eyes

I still didn’t muster the courage

To ask who it was

I still didn’t believe that I was not alone

There are instances when life harms you in

A way from where you never wish to come back

But here there was someone holding me

Taking me to a safer place,

Warmth of tears rolling down my eyes

Asked me to see what I had here ,

Asked me to believe what I felt ,

Asked me to forgive myself

And finally asked me to

Believe...

As caught up in heavy rains

I struggle to open my eyes,

I see where I am , I forgive myself ,

I believe what I see and now

I see you …
