Slowly Dissappearing
Why is it that people think that they are going to live forever?
When a child is born into this world,
It’s a precious moment,
We are filled with so much happiness and joy,
People say that when you have a child, that is when life begins,
How true this is,
We give up everything to nurture this new life,
In return we slowly give up our life,
You start to forget how to be the fun loving person you once were,
Your past life becomes a distant memory,
When you look at yourself you can’t seem to recognize who you are,
Your identity slowly slips away,
You spend endless hours and time trying your best to put a smile on their faces,
While your smile fades away,
Then one day when you open your eyes and look into the mirror,
You see a hard cold reality,
You see an old person looking back at you,
Your precious years has passed you by,
You feel like you have been robbed of your time,
So I say to you,
Stop!!!!!,
Balance your life,
Live Life to the fullest,
Don’t be a time waster,
Give your love and keep some love for yourself,
Don’t disappear,
Love your life,
Make each moment in life mean something to you,
Love, enjoy, find pleasure, and happiness in whatever you do,
For its all for a limited amount time.
