Many times, like a baby I cried, I confess, <br />But I overcame that cruel past... <br />Standing up strong without stress, <br />I erased a love I did not cast... <br /> <br />Now, as the only architect <br />Of my new and improved life, <br />I got back my self control and respect, <br />Ready to face any new strife... <br /> <br />Even when my once happy heart <br />Was painfully and mercilessly violated, <br />I never felt the world falling apart, <br />And back on my feet, I fully recuperated... <br /> <br />Awaiting for a better tomorrow, <br />I wide opened the doors to another sunshine... <br />Without any tears or silly sorrows, <br />I buried my past on due time... <br /> <br />With my heart and mind now reconciled, <br />I welcome the new course of my destiny, <br />Pasting on my face a brighter smile, <br />Knowing that nothing lasts for infinity... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2010<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pride-s-validation/
