The Day That Wasn't

The Day That Wasn't

Take a look around the world,
you find people staring at him.
He thought he was special,
or was it mere coincidence.

People shrug their shoulders
as they walk past him.
He looks with curious eyes,
if he could recognize any.

Stranger was he in the land unknown,
searching for familiar faces.
So close yet so far was he,
so complicated to find thy identity.

Every smile turned down,
Every outstretched arm withdrawn.
Was it a sin being a stranger,
was it just too early to decide.

Time just slips away,
when we care less for ourselves.
A heart felt warm,
when a smile is being accepted.

A smile grown with each passing day,
that leadth to speak a word.
The words knit so neatly together,
to strike a chord of humanity.

He's no longer a stranger anymore,
lest he forgets to smile.
Living in the present, never to look back at,
the day that wasn't.

Could it be real,
Could it be true.
He trusted a lie,
And yet he grew.

A world of opportunities,
made his mind grow confused.
Damn he made the wrong choice,
and now he feels abused.

He was born to make his decisions
but now he's a puppet.
His dreams shattered and deceived,
just like an empty bucket.

'Why can't i break these shackles
and live my dreams my way'.
"you're just too young to do that",
is all they had to say.

how long would he stay here
burdened with these responsibilities.
give him a chance to break free,
else he'd cross the limits of sanity.

"patience is virtue", is rightly said,
As dreams do come true.
Wake up to see the rising sun,
it's a boon to a lucky few.

" "never give up on your dreams
just stay calm to reach the top,
put your trust in God alone
cause he will never stop" ".

" "all your mistakes are forgiven,
so move ahead and dream again" ".
it takes courage to live his life,
so he'd make it worth the pain.

he is responsible for his actions,
so he'd be wise in what he'd do.
he's not an actor never a fool,
it's not a lie, but faith in what he grew .
