Winds of Change

When the winds blow their winds of change,

Life takes turns that at the time seem strange,

When things changed for us, I didn't think I would survive,

Nothing anyone said or did could make me feel alive,

I guess the shock number me and left me completely in the lurch,

The only thing I could do was to somehow continue my search,

My quest to find a happier place; one of peace,

I hope that none of you will ever feel that kind of desperation and unease,

There is no way for me to explain those few months, though I can say,

After all of that there were only happy days,

Not because all my sorrows were removed or anything,

But because I learnt to let it go; I learnt how to stop feeling a thing,

I learnt to smile again even if I wasn't in that mood,

I learnt to laugh out loud even I was feeling blue,

But most importantly I learnt one fundamental unshakeable truth,

That I was better off without any of you,

So many conflicts and lies; maybe life's not meant to be a walk in the park,

But I am sure it's not meant to be that hard,

When we are too scared to admit that some people are bad for our well - being,

Or when we're too scared to let go despite what we are seeing,

Life steps in and takes care of us in every way,

By letting the winds of change come to play

Sometimes the winds of change aren't exactly what we want to see or feel

But sometimes the winds of change are just what we need.
