☆ As frozen as ice ☆

Sometimes,

The going gets tough,

Your soft feet get brutally exposed

To the harshness of the tarry roads,

The mighty sun of fate becomes fiercer

Charring your parched skin,

Thorns prick your naked feet

And grief pricks the corners of your red eyes,

You run madly

In the rough deserts of your broken heart,

And solace eludes you.

During such times,

You think

That you are as frozen as ice.

But if you do walk

Those rough terrains once,

You become flowing water

That knows how to carve its own path,

And no future journey is hard enough.
