The Secret

Its past 2.00 am on a Monday morning, and I'm wide awake with this stupid grin on my face. I don't know what I am feeling currently, but the feeling is surely not an unpleasant one. I don't feel happy, but I guess somewhere deep inside I'm content with what I have today. My mind set into motion and words began to flow. That's how I stumbled upon 'The Secret'.

I'm finally pulling myself up,

Slowly crawling out of the bottomless pit;

As I'm leaving the troubles behind,

I feel nice and I'm loving it.

Couldn't believe that I could change,

And become a much better person;

But you have to do it someday,

When you have a good enough reason.

Let out the frustrations,

Left behind the wrath and wrong;

This tedious episode of my life,

Has only made me more strong.

Why worry about the future,

Why dig into the past;

When things can't be undone,

Why stick on to it till the last?

Never bottle up the feelings,

Good or bad, let it flow;

Get it out of your system,

Then the difference you'll know.

Beneath every one's veneer,

Is hidden a deep secret;

Some run away from it,

And some choose to live in regret.

The secret to good living is,

Letting life take its course;

Find happiness within yourself,

Make yourself the source.

No excuse is strong enough,

If it keeps you from getting all what you want;

Cos if you let go of it now,

You may regret later and it may haunt.

The secret I now know is that,

What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger;

It is the change you wanted to see in yourself,

And it makes you want to live longer.
