As We Grow

What a way to figure it all out!

What a way to know what life’s about!

At first you’re young and so naive

And you think age will fix it all

You eagerly wish to get mature

And dream of getting strong and tall

You see those grown-ups so carefree,

Waiting for months and years to roll,

And you become avid to be like them

To walk like them, not just crawl

The glamor of it ascends in your mind

And starts taking over your innocent soul

You get eager to change what you are

And begin to play an ‘’adult’s’’ role,

And you believe they’re happier,

Limitless

Careless

Flawless

Fearless

Able to bring down an iron wall

And then it happens!

And you’re all grown!

And all that eagerness will turn into pain

And with a sigh, you’ll hear yourself say

“I wish I’m a kid all over again!”

The Tree

i reached the sky first,
got over my fears, got over my thirst,
I'm the tree standing up there,
with no leaves, just standing bare,

i nourish from the past,
and aim out for the sky,
i chose my path,
don't ask me why,
i chose to be first,
i chose winning as a goal,
i left my leaves, my friends,
i even discarded my soul,
i wanted to win,
i wanted to reach the cloud,
i forgot my present,
and kept nourishing from the ground,
and i won!
but loneliness was all i found..
