Journey

by Sumati Muniandy

It has been a rough road; I think I have a long way to go

Life is indeed a constant whirlwind of obstacles

I have been challenged by the trials life has thrown at me

Feeling downtrodden and lost

We have our silent struggles within us

I have been weathered by myriads of circumstances

I have struggled with insecurities and self doubt

My heart has been scarred and broken

I stopped for a moment to reflect how far I have come

I have learned grace and perseverance

I have learned to remain calm

I honour my struggle as I am going to get through it

I am going to take a step at a time.
