Now I do not Suffer

Joshmee Nidhi

All those years I disowned my inner-self 
 whispering my truth which I did not listen 
  I suffered. 
 
 Discarded every miracle, showed disbelief in magics 
 Crowling over something I wasn't meant to be 
  I suffered. 
 
 Closed my eyes, snubbed every sight 
 Turned my face away from that dreamland 
  I wove ever since I was a child
  I suffered. 
 
 Afraid of uncertainty, did not have courage to fight
 Unheard something encroached deep in my heart 
  asking for just a one glance and offering me 
  my life-time's chance 
  I suffered. 
 
 I suffered because I betrayed my path,
  ignored my calling, overlooked and bribed.
  
 Despite something telling me which way should I thrive;
 
 Something more than enough- adequate.
 Something bigger than the world 
  smarter than every evil thought 
  source to each miracle and still quite.

Someone certain, courageous, a bliss and known. 
 Someone never let you suffer in lost-unknown.
 Someone answer to every agony and above all
  sovereignty to my soul.
 
  Let me call him God. 
 
 And now I am not hesitant to listen to this eternal-call.
 I own my identity and what my heart says.
 I do not turn my face or hide into where I don't belong. 
 
 Now I have come back my home
  I won't suffer. 
  I don't suffer.
