Story of my Life

What is next !!!!?

You are not alone

I wish I could go back in time and erase the past

Travel through time just to rewrite my past

I wish I could forget everything but this moment

Drive miles back to be infront of what I left behind

I wish changing my name could change my mind

I lied , thought I knew myself but I don’t recognize the image in the mirror

I wish what I have is what I need, nothing in every way is okay

I put my foot down and picked my heart up

I wish you told me, sometimes you lose when you win

You should have told me, the best efforts never translate into success

I wish utopia wasn’t that picture perfect, building my spirits up only to crumble beneath all these pages

You tell me not to look back anymore, to just create who I want to be and forget about finding self

I wish I would be happy now, stop waiting for life not to get hard anymore

Just for me to be happy again, as happiness shouldn’t be made a choice

I wish after this wave, I will be able to pen down happy poems

But before then, I promise to keep cutting onions

To the one that never went away

Life has a way of getting in the way of things

• 

I knew this then and I know this now

The mutuality of time has unravelled the story of life before us

But we dare not to loose ourselves in wishful thinking

Never loosing ourselves to some past memories

For life has to be lived forward

You have braved new lands before

Beyond the walled up cities and homes

I pray that you may never stop playing

They say a cat has only nine lives

but forget to mention how cats are naturally courageous

how they live their lives curiously

The same curiosity that leads them to danger

The same curiosity that gives them hope to keep pushing

As you turn a year older, remember life is a race, but you can’t run forever

Quiting too is a form of bravity

But true courage lies in holding on even after everything in you screams flight
