The Journey

By Pranav Sukhija

I have heard the complaint,

I have asked the questions,
I have seeked the responses,
And I have found the answers.

I have made a decision,
I have made some plans,
I have taken on a journey,
And I have so many thoughts.

I have learned to laugh,
I have learned to cry,
I have reconnected with myself,
And I have learned to trust.

I have shared so much,
I have received so much,
I have learned to forgive,
And I have started believing in love.

I have felt positive,
I have felt negative,
I have questioned myself,
And I have doubted my decisions.

I have felt like a winner,
I have felt like a loser,
I have celebrated small successes,
And I have seen crippling failures.

I have been reassured,
I have lost my track,
I have found my motivation,
But I have been defeated again.

I have finally made peace with myself,
I have learned to survive,
I have invested my faith,
And I have found a little hope.

I have gained so much,
I have lost only a little,
I have found people to take care of,
And I have found people who take care of me.
