Own Time to Shine

I was finally so happy with everything going on in my life
The most exciting news was expected and I thought it’ll soon arrive
I was pumped up with excitement and started climbing tall
I had no fear of failure, no reason to fall
Little did I know what was about to unfold
It came from a different, terrible little mould
It was dark and scary and sucked out all the happiness
This real life dementor turned everything into a mess
It locked me in a room where I’d constantly doubt myself
It sent in ghosts that made me feel stupid like no one else
It made me think that I didn’t deserve whatever I had achieved so far
That I couldn’t do anything more, I’d never be a star
Just when I was about to give in and stay locked up forever
A window appeared magically with the brightest ray of hope ever
A bunch of familiar faces stood out there
Confidence, Love, Friendship, Positivity and Care
Each one of them reached out to me and gave me a hand
They pulled me out of that room, no less than a quicksand
Breathing in the fresh air, letting the sunlight fall on my face
I realized life is not a race, each one moves at their own pace
With this renewed thought, I’m back to the climb
I might stumble, fall, take breaks, but I’ll be there in my own time

The Rainbow Flower

Life like a sapling did start
Soon grew like a plant with boughs apart
But not just any other plant, a unique one
With different flowers for everything said and done
The blue bloomed first and taught me to cry
The yellow grew next to help me laugh and wipe the tears dry
The orange came no later filling me with anger
With that came the violet bringing in the sadness
But soon came love jumping into my life
In the form of a red flower shining bright and alive
Together with the yellow, it fought the orange and violet
And I was ready for the game that life had let
The moment I was ready something extraordinary happened
The Rainbow Flower grew at the top like the most beautiful medal pinned
Filled with happiness, joy, sadness and love
And all other things I hadn’t felt above
That is what makes a person a human
Before life with its struggles makes him run
And now that I’m running I think and wonder
Is the rainbow flower good enough?
Or do I want to choose my own flowers
And not feel everything at once?
