FINDING ME IN YOU!

Original Submission by Janu Krishnan

FINDING ME IN YOU!

I am in you, you are in me,

I have felt what you have felt in

many moments, and many ways.

The happiness, the fun, the win, the loss, the sorrow,

the fear, the anxiety, the betrayal, the rejection,

the insecurity, the frustration,

the pain, the emptiness,

the loneliness, the experience, the mood swings,

the mixed feelings,

I just want to say it’s okay.

It’s okay to fall and rise,

It’s okay not to be okay all the time,

It’s okay to feel lonely and boring,

It’s okay there’s no flowers, no parties,

It’s okay to feel all kind of feelings,

At once or sometime,

We are not an AI Robots,

Not to feel anything at all.

Yet, I chose to step up,

move forward, one step at time,

If I can, so do you, rise up!

Just trust the precious YOU!

I chose me!
