Saw me crying
Tried
To cheer me up
Not knowing
What’s up

Summoned courage
Masked my outrage
Composed myself
Said
To myself

Shouldn't feel
Sorry for myself
Worst things
Have happened
To people
Around the world

Rationalised
Put things
Into perspective
Felt pensive

I am fine
Compared
To every one
Who lives
In abject Poverty
Perpetual Misery

Led/lead
A happy life
Reconciled with myself

Reached
My zenith
Know my worth

Why cry ?

Determination
To struggle
To the end

Cry of
Hopelessness
Turned to
Cry of joy and
Happiness
