I AM PENSWORLD

My eyes were closed as I allowed the shower  run a little more before turning it off. I reached for my towel almost immediately to dry my face. 

My face in the mirror was the first thing I saw as I opened my eyes. I looked still into my eyes for about a minute. The pains and disappointments I'd managed as a growing young man came in flashes as I blinked my eyes faster than normal. Just then, trickled water from my hair got in my eyes. I dried the water and pressed the towel a little harder on my face.  A soft moan escaped my lung as I took a deep breath. 

I have risen like phoenix from ashes.
I have rejuvenated. 

I cried those days when I felt too weak to go on. 
I always smiled and laughed at every slightest word to shade my tears. 
I wished for better days.

One fact that consoled me the most all through those times was "everyone's gat a problem. Just as people hardly notice mine, I don't notice theirs too."

Look at me today, I AM PENSWORLD!
