• THE START •

as children we play,
and as adults we are always in a run for finding our way;
as we were young everything fascinated us,
today even the most beautiful things feels a fuss;
we were dreamers as kids,
now leaving all our passions behind for someone to have their bids;
we craved attention back in the past,
now our focus on a single thing never lasts;
we ran around worrying about nothing,
today we sprint as our shoulders carry the burden of every small inconvenience or fling;
we dreamt of owning the stars,
now we rarely stop to look at them from afar;
the desires we proudly claimed to bring true,
makes us feel nothing but rue;
amidst the crowd we did loose our parents and panic,
but today we are unknown to the self - shattered and sick;
we played around mindless,
today we lack time even for our love to be confessed.
we fantasised a happily ever after,
but now we smile as if we need to pay for our own laughter;
a lot changes from back then,
but if not today then when?
when are we going to live our dreams?
or do we on our death bed want to listen to our own screams?
screams of agony for abandoning our passion,
screams of regretting the things we didn't do just for fun;
screams of pain,
screams of letting opportunities go in vain;
screams begging for another chance,
while life wouldn't even spare you a little glance.

• THE END •

guys, enjoy life while you can. this isn't a forever. don't hold on and say that oh once i achieve this I'll be happy, stay happy and chase your dreams. your dreams will always be there, you won't. know that the destiny of life is it's end - death. so no, you cannot get to say my destiny is to ultimately be happy. be unlimitedly happy throughout the journey 💜🌱🌷
