Playlist

I get too overwhelmed,

Life's challenges with no end,

Thrown at me one after another,

No room to even take a breath.


I want to breath, I deserve to,

If only it was that easy to do,

I'd hit pause, or replay my playlist,

Of wonderful memories I cherished.


Do I deserve to change it?

The wrong choices of the past.

Perhaps a second chance,

What if I made it worse?


Sitting by a stranger,

In a park to pause, I wonder,

A break from absolutely everything,

I'm not the only one here breathing.


Many other souls around me,

Some old and some youngling,

All living their own storylines,

With hope filled in their eyes.


Hopes and dreams,

That's what keeps us moving,

Even unaware of the very next second,

It's riding us with all our passion.


I wonder what their lives are like?

Some laughing, some chattering alike,

How many stories do each of them hold?

How many earth has witnessed in whole?


My story, my life,

Is among one of them,

A new page to turn each day,

How am I to live today?


But what if I don't want to?

What if all I want is to stop?

All at once. Everything.

The sun from rising,


The moon from smiling,

What if I want to hit stop?

Will my playlist be forgotten?

Like it never existed.


Will I be known as a lesson?

Just another coward,

Too scared, too broken,

To live another second.


I'm no coward in vain ,

I'll see the sunrise with pain,

To shine my day and enhance,

Later talk to dear moon in trance.


I'm a dreamer,

And dreamers don't quit,

Another day, another battle,

I'm a warrior, I won't give in.
