AN EASIER LIFE

I was a male, then I became female

I overflowed, became water

I was swift, then became slow

I was trouble, then became peace

I was darkness, then I became enlightened

I was light, then I became dark

I began to love the darkness

I used to see double

Then I saw only one

I read myself, I wrote myself

I still have fear

I still have tears

I embraced them all

In love with my intelligence

Accustomed to my responsibilities

I open my wings

And fly alone

While cursing the things I once hated,

I began to see the one who protects me

I realized how ungrateful I had been

How ignorant I was

When I saw him, there was no eye left, no tongue

Thank God

Beautiful, Merciful, and Compassionate
