STORY OF A SURVIVOR ⚔

 

She couldn’t believe she was alive

She couldn’t believe

From nothing to everything

She thought it existed only in fairytales

But now she was living as one

 

From being opinion less to opinions mattering

From unheard to heard

From uncared to cared

From lonely to company

From nothing to everything

 

She was in a fairyland

She was in a place that she thought existed only in dreams

Existed only in books

But now her life

It was one big, fat, fairytale

 

Like in fantasies

Her life too had magic

Waved the fairy wand

Sprinkled the magic dust

Drank the magic potion

 

It felt like them all

Her dark past

One that she tries to forget

One that she is still insecure about

One that nobody thought she ever underwent

 

It took her time

To come from beneath the masks

Everybody believed her masked face

Nobody ever knew

That her mind was actually a Burning Maze

 

‘re was a time

A time when she wanted to run

A time she wished if someone was near

A time when she was insecure

A time when she wanted a listener

 

But for a twist

Time had different plans

The master brain had different intentions

Intentions she never knew

Plans she knew nothing about

 

She walked through fire

Had bruises and scars

The deadly fire that she thought she ‘d surrender

But her spirit never died

It was alive

 

In the bottom of her hearts

The spark began to spread like wildfire

Soon that fire was beastlier than the one outside

Soon she was set ablaze

But that fire molded her into a phoenix

 

Now she believed

Now she didn’t care of others’ opinions

Now she didn’t feel insecure

Now she did not hide herself

Now she didn’t need a mask

 

Their comments were her fuel

Their mocks were her breeze

Their don’ts were her logs

Their ridicules were her fireplace

And so, she was set to fire

 

She was a fighter

She wasn’t anymore a worrier

She was a warrior

She was a knight

She was a queen

 

And now as for the climax

She was a survivor…
