Life is a painful reminder <br />Where I went on my own <br />To start my journey <br />But met disappointments along the way <br />For time eluded me <br />And I had to sacrifice myself <br />My vision and beauty of the happiness that existed..... <br /> <br />There I continued to make changes <br />And took small baby steps <br />To deal with tricky situations <br />And played bigger roles <br />To listen to my whispers of the heart <br />And fill the hollowness of my soul <br />And recollect the overwhelming scatters of my life... <br /> <br />To get back the control <br />Of every aspect of life <br />So I could set myself free to move on <br />And get away far very far <br />Where I don't have to give up <br />Or hear the painful reminder <br />Or the forgotten whisper......<br /><br />Seema Chowdhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-painful-reminder-2/
