(9/15/12)

My mind died so that I could live
For I had so much to give.
The world can be a place of troubles and fears
But love can wipe away the tears.

Some people live like a caterpillar in a cocoon
Hoping that their beauty will come out soon
And some- like a turtle inside a shell
Moving ahead can really be hell.

I no longer wanted to hide
The feelings that were locked up inside.
My heart sang out for all to hear
The beauties of today, tomorrow
And yesteryear.

I became a bed of flowers
With aromatic fragrances that
The world seeks
Reaching every corner
Touching every peak.

Everyone searches for me in every
Corner of the world
For I am a diamond. A emerald, a pearl.

People will pay to have me near
For I can heal the broken heart
And wipe away the fears.
