I told them

spilleronsheet

Though they take

my words 

my dreams 

my tales 

my stories 

my pains 

my sufferings 

as mere jokes 

yet I told them without hesitation 

I told them 

I needed time 

to own my dreams

I dreamt since childhood time 

I needed time 

to pursue my desires 

which I lost recklessly 

so many times 

I needed time 

to live the way I wanted to live once for last time 

I told them 

my weakness 

my strengths

my shortcomings 

my mistakes 

yet they ignored my words I heed 

I told them 

I opened my heart 

to get over the tears that stained my pillows overnight 

I told them 

I don’t need a Prince on horse/

I don’t need a princes dolled up in rose 

I told them 

I needed time 

to reign the power of the lost kingdom of mine 

to live the legacy of my life 

I told them 

to trust my plans 

if they didn’t 

I still had me to trust in me 

and I willingly will lead a simple life 

that I make out of my hand

    No dreams, no journey, and I think, no life. Even if you fail in that dream, it takes you onto the next one, and who knows, that may be the one' that sets you up for life.

            Thank you so much dear reader
            I wish to enjoy even the simplest thing
            Cause we never know that what’s today around us, maybe they may not be tomorrow anymore…and I hope everyone has happiness and joy in their life and they cherish those at that moment….
