It has been years of perseverance,
and yet,
when one looks back,
we ask ourselves: how had I lived?
How had I lived?
Do you consider being happy as living?
Do you consider success as living?
My days are spent on aimless moves,
that eventually lead me to nowhere.
Is this living?
Days spent in routine,
with slight burps when term ends.
Is this living?
I had not been successful,
on the other hand not compromising my principles,
yet, I was able to turn around,
and say that I have lived.
They say: Live live with no regrets.
Yet, who could acclaim that they had done so?
Only after bouts of regrets,
can one realise they should have done otherwise.
Only now, I know,
the people I have not cherished, are eventually,
the ones I cherish most.
Only now, I know,
things I've put off doing, are eventually,
the ones I will end up doing willingly.
Only now, I know,
thoughts I've always wanted to keep silent, are eventually,
the ones I wanted so badly to voice.
Only now, I know,
how important it is to follow your dreams, and
not worry about bread-and-butter issues.
Only now, I know,
the only way to subjugate your dreams, is to
know what your dream is.
Only now, I know,
how the important things and people,
have always been there.
Yet,
only now, I know,
I should cherish them.
Only now, I know,
the battle of the best always exist,
and it's not up to you,
not to take part in it.
Only now, I know,
I should do everything,
that I've always wanted to do,
come the day when I choose to do it,
but I can't, anymore.
Only now, I know,
how a piece of priceless memory,
makes me laugh out loud in the middle of the night,
and yet,
I could sleep on diamonds,
and not feel a tinge of happiness.
Only now, I know,
that,
only now, I know.
and yet,
when one looks back,
we ask ourselves: how had I lived?
How had I lived?
