You go through different phases in your life and each churns out a different result. You learn one thing from one and another from another. You end up meeting all kinds of people that inspire you in their own unique ways. Some you are lucky enough to meet and some you wish you had never come across. It's all a circus. You are on top one day and before you know it, you are plunging down. It doesn't matter how many tops you have reached or for how long you stayed there. All that matters is how many times were you able to pick yourself back up and how fast!!!
Today as I sit writing this I take a look back at my past. So many things have happened to me, my loved ones, my friends, people around me, my institutions, my country and all... it's just amazing how ungratful we all are... and just how stubborn we can be... I have learnt a lot and I will continue to do so... Yes, I have made my mistakes but I am man enough to face them today... I thought I was in love only to know that I deserved better... If only I had seen the hidden faces a little earlier but well, then again if I had, I wouldn't be who I am today, a much stronger and better man.
I have finally decided to quit writing poetry, at least for some time to come... there's nothing left to write about for me, no one to inspire me, no feeling left that needs to be put in words... I end this with my favorite verse:
"To do something a little extraordinary
To die knowing that I at least tried"
