I've seen events,
that are not well seen.
Events that are over looked, due to their state.

I've touched untouchable objects, subjected according to their physical state.

I've walked immeasurable undiscovered distance over the milles.

Where struggle was daily bread, sweating and leaking those sour lips
cover and my sweat melted on.

My sweat all over my body, covering all my body as I have nobody.

Feeling so empty
Feeling so tired
Feeling so helpless
So powerless,
Than you could even imagine my dearest friend.

So clumsy,
So lousy
As the weatherly
turned cloudy.

No powers to uplift myself and carry on.
No encouragement and someone to help me carry my luggage of life struggle.
But yet I've survived.

I walked and feel alone
The tiredness and loneliness of lifetime journey.

There were times I asked myself questions
That I knew there will be no answers.

Felt my life being teared apart by these jackals of life, trying to chew my lifestyle while am alive.

So teary,
So scary
Screaming alone.
No one to spare me
And take away the pain I felt as I felt like melting
Like ice cream Ola.

But yet I've survived
And writing with pride to express inner self expression.

Look at me now
Take a look at me now.
Am people's person and with encouraging unspoken words.

Burning all evil spirit
and dirty deed sorrounding my people.
I am the testimony of struggle,
Product of hardship.
Never give up.
