I often say small things matter
Because honestly it does.
It makes one lonely soul smile
Even for a while.
And for a sentimental one like me
Saying hi, how are you or
checking me out means a lot.
More so, if you will say, you care.
I thought I have lost this side of me.
I’ve been concealing it all these years.
Unfortunately, I’m losing my hold.
I am losing control.
Perhaps in life those things that are natural,
Those things that you are born with,
No matter how much you try to change,
Will always go back to what it’s supposed to be.
I’ve been battling with my inner child.
The child I have once lost because I knew
I needed to grow not only for myself
But for my family.
With the lines in my forehead
and plenty of silver hairs,
I don’t know if I would let that child go out.
Though I know there’s more to life than my own happiness.
I wish to grow more, not in physique
But mentally and emotionally.
I need to be the person I have to be
Today, tomorrow and the days to come.
