Worth my while


I feel like I'm chasing circles

There's no getting out of my head

I make a loop that's hard to straighten out

I lose control when I'm thinking out aloud


I see people chasing shadows

Hoping to become a darker color

I wish to lose myself in the air we breathe

Hope to never climb a tree so steep


I wish to float around like a snowflake

I feel like taking my time

I want to savor the journey

Before I fall down on Earth


I hope to never be afraid

Afraid of speaking my mind

I hope to never be tired

Tired of chasing my life


I hope to never let them decide

What my pace is going to be

I wish to make my own way

In this journey called life


I hope to never succumb to their stereotypes

Because even though its taking time

I know its going to be worth my while

When I finally make it out alive.

                                                                           ..........because I light up my world like nobody else.


Note:

Woah, that was a long one!

This is absolutely raw and unedited. So, don't judge my writing skills from this one.

I wanted to post the first draft as it seems much more real to me and because removing all the imperfections wouldn't make it perfect at all, it would take away the true essence of the poem.

Don't forget to love yourself a little more everyday.

Love and hugs,

Until next time. ♥
