Studying
Cramming
Amidst the scattered papers,
     Softly crying

Mood suddenly changing
Remembering
Pausing for a moment

Pencils  dropping
Slowly
   B r e a t h i n g

Sentiments immediately hitting
Of the days where life used to be simple
Gentle
On how you danced the earth upon your young feet
Not giving a care about tomorrow

The rain falling
Cicadas singing
Oh how you've long for that feeling
Of that fuzzy sensation
Gust of wind, hugging
Yet inside is a tiny heart, bravely beating
It was heartwarming

Hopes and dreams suddenly rushing
Of how you've always wanted to walk along the stars
And conquer the roaring seas


On how you've always wondered
What will you be
Years from now

You stood up, quietly gazing
On a sight which seemed to be out of reach
The mirror was calling
The reflection was changing

A youthful being stared back at you
Grinning
Smiling
Eyes sparkling
Undoubtedly admiring
Yet worrying
Of what you've become


As you close your eyes, realizing
    Looking for the fire left inside you
     Still scorching

Reassuring
   Of that person you've been years ago
  That you will continue to fight
And be proud of what you'll ever be
