Cocoon
Making mistakes without a clue,
Realizing and seeing all the flaws within you,
Don’t let fear consume you or you’ll always be afraid,
You’ll never achieve that dream which was meant to come true.
You’ll be pilloried by a million obstacles,
Try looking ahead instead of brooding over the past,
For these phases of darkness are blessings in disguise,
That paves the way for life’s biggest miracles.
There’ll be devastation and hurt in this process,
You’ll be shunned and distanced by the ones you love,
Take it as inspiration which will propel you towards your goal,
The progress you make will make up for all these losses.
It’s okay if everyone in you refuses to believe,
Just go ahead & avoid all the wrong things that you do,
Never resent any of these people as they are simply returning what we gave them,
The fabric of our life starts looking the way we weave.
Bathe in the showers of the passing storm,
Let it wash you clean till the soul,
Keep your eyes focused where nothing can be seen,
The curtains of fate will open and make you feel happy and warm.
Actions leave permanent scars on emotions,
Be careful of what you do in future,
Make such marks that all the scars will be forgotten,
Use the strength of love as a healing portion.
Consider yourself a masterpiece in the making,
Take steps to fulfill this dream,
On achieving it your life will start changing,
You’ll be like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon on waking.
