Tell me if we are going somewhere Tell me to get myself ready Tell me if we can be happy or will I be alone again for eternity
This is really hard There are days when we have something and days when we are nothing
And I don't want to dive into an ocean and drown with no one to save me Because what I'm seeing right now is a sea. Vast, deep, vague, and scary. And I'm not even quite sure If I'm ready to swim about the sea Or if the sea is ready to have me
And I got lots of questions in my mind How is it that people get into relationships quickly When I, I drown in a deep sea of thoughts and non-stop wonders flood me Every night I ask myself, Am I ready to take the risk?
Because to be honest I'm not a risk-taker girl every day I act strong and ever night I fear my own thoughts
Never have I had the courage Of making dreams a reality Never have I had the courage Of keeping your smile on my mind
Because I'm scared that one day I might treasure that smile and when that day comes, that smile is no longer for me anymore
I'm scared that once I learned how to swim that waters, the sea I once looked at with wonder Is not for me to swim anymore
So instead of taking risks and being scared I'm gonna open my eyes and watch all the good things and see all the bad things alongside them. I'm gonna open my hands To catch all rains of happiness And finally, accept the frosts of sadness.
This is a poem I wrote back when I was still in college. I can't remember what this was for, yet somehow the feelings I had when I wrote this still lingers.
