We all have an invisible bundle in life—filled with thoughts, feelings, memories, beliefs, and lessons.
This poem reflects on the strength that shapes us. It reminds us that even though life can leave scars, hope stays with us, making every experience an important part of our story.
# it is my story #
I carry
more than the world can see.
A pocket full of thoughts,
a heart full of emotions,
beliefs that refuse to surrender,
and memories
that still bloom
like old flowers
after the rain.
I carry
the lessons
that success whispered
and failure engraved.
I carry dreams
that still knock
on tomorrow’s door,
asking for one more chance.
Life has taken much,
yet it has given more.
So I keep walking,
not because the road is easy,
but because hope
travels with me.
This invisible bundle
is not my burden—
it is my story.
(Vijay Verma)

Each of us is the sum of our experiences, interactions, successes, failures and associations. This is what makes us who we are. I often get suggestions about how I should write/should have written a post, but aside from a few corrections, I post from what I know and remain true to myself. Have a blessed Friday. Allan
