A Reason To Smile

Like every other girl

She had her dreams

To soar high in the sky like a kite

With dreams and ambitions

She stepped into the city

Which seemed to welcome her

With open arms

Naive, yes she was

She believed everyone

It was a dark and raining

The sky lit up with lightning

And roared with thunder

And there she was

Lying in a pool of mud

Surrounded by unfamiliar faces

Laughing at her

They were her offenders

They walked away

She slowly gathered herself

Shattered, yes she was

She looked up in the sky

And asked "Why?"

Even the Gods didnt have an answer

The thunder, the lightning, the rain

The whole universe felt disgusted

She reached her home

Locked herself in

She cried her heart out

She cut herself

She had suicidal thoughts

She wanted to die

Broken, yes she was

Into several pieces

And then she heard

A small voice inside herself

Are you strong or weak?

Asked the voice

I was strong but am not now, she replied

Are you a winner or a loser?

It asked even more strongly

I was a winner, but now I have lost it all..

The voice asked her to stand, She declined

And then she had a dream

She dreamt about her dreams

Dreams that had always kept her going

She cried in pain

Blamed her dreams for her current state

She blamed herself for everything

And, then an angel flew to her

And pointed out towards a star

She saw her parents

With open arms and unconditional love

You are a fighter, a survivor

There's more to life than this, they said

All of a sudden she felt strong

She found hundreds of reasons to live

There she rose

And stood back on her feet

With a new found courage

And a goal to achieve

To be an inspiration

For not only others like her

But for every person

Who had lost all reasons to live

She rose like a phoenix

Rose from the ashes of her shattered self

Stronger and tougher than ever before

Ready to take all the challenges

That would come her way

Only to emerge as a winner

She marched ahead

And never looked back

The dark clouds disappeared

The stars shined brighter that day

 A pleasant breeze blew

Expressing the universe's jubilance

For it had finally resurrected its dearest child

And gave her thousands of reasons to smile!!!!!
