Once, I was strong

Once, I was strong and I wanted to build a house.

But I did a mistake I built it in someone else’s heart.

Over the course, my house got old, neglected

The windows got rusted, the paints worn out

There was never an attempt of repair

And one day eventually, I saw

My house has been destroyed

It wasn’t there anymore

I tried to search in despair!

All in vain! with the little strength left, then

I demolished the already weak bridge

then there was no choice

but to move forward

Rose within me, a voice.

I’ve started to build a house

Inside my own heart

where I can safely sit

Any harms, I hope to resist

From the hurts and pains and tears

I’ve made the concretes 

and once again, I’m strong.
