Reborn
When you look at me what do you see?
Do you see the small child living in fear?
Do you feel the pain I have felt?
Can you sense all the times I’ve doubted myself?
Are you aware of the numerous times I’ve wished for life to end?
Look again.
Now when you look at me, what do you see?
Do you see:
Strength from all the pain!
Courage born in fear!
Compassion rising from suffering!
Peace evolving from depression!
Confidence growing out of doubt!
My games are my games. Maybe I play them to expose your games.
We may be miles apart in our lives but inside we are closer than we may want to admit.
You won’t know me and I won’t know you if we don’t look past the masks we all wear.
Don’t underestimate me; don’t look past me; and don’t give up on me.
I AM JUST BEGINNING! I AM REBORN!
