Not Diminished......

I see my life in front of me
Darkened and shrink with fear
The dust storms worsen the weather
But still I want to feel like a feather

I hear strange voices
Together with horrible refrains
The wind is too hard, and I can't sail
But I'll keep rowing, as I don't want to fail

My pain is my shadow
My heart was fallen in a meadow
Sacrifices do not give us gifts
Happiness and sadness will be in shifts

I am hurt but not diminished yet
I've tolerated the obstacles that I've met
Building an oasis in a dessert
Not very easy, but what an effort?
