The day I heaved the burden off my soul,

I realized how I deprived myself,

from all the beauties in life,

I saw those wings unfolding,

the hopes burning,

And I was raring again to fly,

With sconce that lit,

The world around me,

With brightness,

Introducing me,

To myriad possibilities,

That shone brightly,

In my twinkling eyes.
