How I realized that I'm alive ! - My first poem

When I was a teen, I used to write in my diary as I was inspired by Anne Frank. In that chapter of Anne Frank's diary during school days, one statement inspired me a lot and I still remember it precisely, that "Nobody is interest in musings of a child" and that was the time when I became secretive. I didn't share my feeling with anybody but with my diary. 

But like every other teen, I wanted to make memories and remember them in coming future. So I started writing about summary of my days, sometimes about my feelings and at times poems as well. 

10 years from then, I still have that diary and found this poem while turning pages through days near my birthday of 2010. 

This was my first poem, which in today's date as well, is very meaningful and deep. The poem teaches you to be hopeful. So here it is ... 

I'm alive

Yesterday, I was out in a garden, of a strange city. 

It was quite different for me.

Flowers were more beautiful there.

Like they were smiling at me. 

And, there was a question in my head,

Am I in a different world? 

Am I still alive ? 

In my home, no flower ever smiled at me. 

How can it be so different? 

Between the two worlds, how can God create such a big difference? 

The question was still in my head, 

Am I still alive? 

My heart is paining.

The tears are falling. 

It started raining outside. And I woke up with thunderclap.

I felt something is different now. 

Someone is calling me out. 

Oh ! Is that for me? 

My heart is feeling light. I was feeling hopeful.

I opened the window, and there was a garden outside. 

Oh ! Is that for me? 

The smiling flowers are falling from sky. 

Flowers of my home, were smiling at me. 

And I realized, Yes, I'm still alive ! 

That pain was my friend, which taught me the importance of smile. 

Yes, I'm alive. 

Hope you enjoyed...
