Once upon a time,
she was dependent on others for her happiness.
When people had the control of her life,
her life they could make, her life they could mess.
Once upon a time,
she felt constrained by external factors.
When people could influence her decisions,
in her own life, she was not of a director but a mere actor.
Once upon a time,
she resigned to life and felt gloomy and sad.
When people she met hurt her and walked away,
her feelings for the world were nothing but bad.
And then she decided to change,
and change for the better.
And then she decided it was time to take control,
of her own destiny, of her own matters.
And then she decided to be always happy,
to find happiness within.
And then she decided to feel her own beauty,
love herself, be aware of her strengths.
And then she decided to thank God,
to feel the gift of life and to live in the present.
And then she decided to be herself.
To feel alive every moment.
And no matter what comes now,
she will greet every thing with a smile.
And no matter what happens from now,
it will be her journey till the last mile.
