It Has Taken a Phenomenal While
It has taken a phenomenal while
or has it?
apparently I have learnt to live my life
or have I?
whatever days I encompass
or nights I rediscover
I presume that I may now live a life
originally, authentically, my own
Now I have started to decode
what superlative pain means
and what is the real nemesis of happiness
both as people say have the similar threats
we have to accept them both, take them into ours stride,
move on magically, really magically
not altered by thoughts of deceit or defeat
It has taken a phenomenal while
or has it?
apparently I have learnt to live my life
or have I?
whatever days I encompass
or nights I rediscover
I presume that I may now live a life
originally, authentically, my own
without wet tears and clandestine fears
I am learning to live a life
Now I am trying to decipher
who are the people whom I should be close to
those who may challenge my status quo?
or those who put me on a narcissistic joyous trance-like state
or those few who philosophically argue
that this life is a carriage of sorts, moving on
going on, slow and steady, sometimes faster than a train
If someone has a story to share
of a blurred yet emotionally charged heartwarming past
I am willing to listen
If it makes me shed tears of elation
recalling my nothingness
hearts embraced by hearts
in a graphic dream
I will move on, embracing these stories
move on magically, really magically
not altered by thoughts of deceit or defeat
It has taken a phenomenal while
or has it?
apparently I have learnt to live my life
or have I?
whatever days I encompass
or nights I rediscover
I presume that I may now live a life
originally, authentically, my own
