How Fast Time Flies By

Today I realized how fast time is; how helpless we are against it.

Yesterday, I was my mother’s daughter, so young and so carefree. I had no major responsibilities. My role was just to be the kid everyone treated so nice and so well, the kid who used to be the one everyone beamed at. But today, I am older, still my mother’s daughter, but with heavy obligations of studying, taking care of myself and my family and handling the stress of a regular teenage life.

Yesterday, I was nobody. Today, I am a little some body. I write and draw, yet I am still yet to be recognized.

Yesterday, my family was in peace. There were daily worries, yes it’s true and inevitable, but that kept us together as a tighter family.  But today, it is different. The worries are forever here to stay with our family, and bad things keep on happening, one after the after. It’s making each of us drift apart to the lives we live outside the home. We are changing into different people, into total strangers that I fear.

Yesterday, I was young. Physically and mentally, I was a child. Today, I am growing up to be an adult. I will hopefully be a parent. And I will see my child grow.

Yesterday, I was carefree. But today, I observe. How much changes have occurred in the past decades of my life. And yet, there is still more to come.

Yesterday, I was scared. But today, I am still a little scared, but I know to myself I am braver than yesterday. I know I can face the world despite on what happened yesterday.

It is because, it is the yesterday that builds who I am today.

True

Today another day has gone by

where hopefully we made a new tie.

Though we make more each day,

it seems some fade away.

Why do you cut such precious things?

You know there is more to life than petty flings.

Have you seen how much the flowers have grown?

Or maybe called your lonely friend on the phone?

Pet that lonely dog outside your door,

then maybe you’ll find what you’re really looking for.

Did yourself recently in front of the mirror?

That’s the fake you, posing to have so much glamour.

I am looking forwards to what you were,

because that’s the you who I obviously prefer.

So gentle yet so true

so smile now and don’t be blue,

because all this time I’ve been waiting to see you once again.

I’ll be waiting, so don’t let me wait in vain.

Anticipation

I wake up to another morning,

and I see the majestic rays of the sun shining.

It is the day,

to my self I say.

Today is when I take another step

towards the future I have yet to accept.

So I head out to the world and prepare my mind

because for sure a great reward I will find.

I do what I can to achieve this desire;

I will go over, under and through different wires,

because I know today is the day I’ve been waiting for

and with the success I achieve, I’ll be wanting more.
