honestly
   i never envisioned
     the adversity 
        i\’ve experienced 
            to be a gift 

   i was incredibly wrong
      under the impression
         this was a punishment
             for something 
       i\’d done in another 
             life 

 the concept of strength
     riddled with calamity
         ensures a well balanced 
             tale housed with a myriad 
         of paths which veer 
     in too many directions 
  
 this has made me realise
   truly NOTHING happens 
      without a reason 
 
    at times we are fortunate
       and know what those 
            are — during other stages  
                we have to spend
           hours with fixated 
       optics as each granule 
     of sugar drops to chronicle
 the time of a hesitant life 
   no longer fearful 
    
      an effigy which shifts 
   with each zephyr that
        swirls around 
            it\’s candy 
               coat 

Title Quote: Michelle Obama
