Reborn

Reborn

(Translated from Turkish)

Years ago, when looking in the mirror

I saw a weak person

Years ago, when looking in the mirror

I saw an unhappy person

Years ago, when looking in the mirror

I saw a hopeless person

For years, when looking at the world

I saw darkness

For years, when looking at the world

I saw ugliness

For years, when looking at the world

I saw helplessness

Now, when looking into the same mirror

I see a strong person

Now, when looking in the mirror

I see a happy person

Now, when looking in the mirror

I see a hopeful person

Now, when looking at the same world

I see light

Now, when looking at the world

I see beauty

Now, when looking at the world

I can see a new opportunity everywhere and in every moment

The mirror didn’t change

The world didn’t change either

But I

I feel like I was reborn.
