Every Woman


I am more than I think I am
I am more than I see when I look into the mirror
I am more than I have heard about myself
I am more than I could imagine I would ever be

There was a time when I wanted everything
But nothing made me happy
Dreams started to wither away
chocked by the weeds of regrets

So I sat down very still
beside the river of life
looking in the swirling waters
trying to find what I really wanted

Life is a jigsaw puzzle
whose pieces have fallen away
They can be put back together
I gather them... snatches of songs
forgotten passages of poems
faded photographs and old journals
memories gathering dust
at the back of my mind

I am afraid to take a chance
but I will do it anyway
I have done things
that did not turn out well

But I am getting better and better
Its time to move on
To do different things
differently...

Cacophony of desires no longer
violate the solitude of mind
I almost know what I want
But I must be patient enough
to get it.
