..........

And my fears
never came true,

but they continued
to haunt me,

in a way they
motivated me to do
something about my present situation,

they were the change agents

positive as well as negative;

they took my happiness
but they made me strong

strong enough to fight
and remain tall in all the circumstances

we come to know ourselves
when we are in pain and lonely,

because then nobody is around us
and we can see ourselves better,

somebody said
in the movie I was watching this afternoon.
