Time knocked on my door,
I couldn’t do anything but, open the door,
I sat down on my little chair,
Viewing life through the little window
That God gifted me with.
Seconds passed, minutes passed, hours passed,
Days passed, weeks passed and so did the years.
But I still sat on that little chair
Staring through that little window
Which fade, clutter and flicker.
Time was my companion throughout the years
With tears to dry and laughter to share
With sadness to bid and happiness to cherish.
I changed but time, it stayed the same
So inhuman to my transiency,
So unreal but I still smiled at its stubbornness to leave my side.
The lessons it taught me stayed with me
Showing me failures to be experiences
Showing me sadness is just as happiness with tears,
Showing me humility is richness and kindness is a gift.
Showing me life is time,
Time for me to believe and learn
Time for me to know that I am different
Time for me to choose my way
Time for my insecurities to fade
Time for me to cross my boundaries
To explore and to see that the sky is not the limit.
But it scared me,
Scared me with new people
Scared me with fears
Scared with its un-resting pace
Scared me to be left behind
Scared that I will fade.
But I never did
I met with people who grounded me
My fears became my strength
My past became my experience
My concerns moulded into decisions.
And I am still sitting on that little chair
Looking outside that window
Letting time take the lead
And me, following it into the oblivion
Leaving the present as past behind.
