The Journey Called Life!
Hello read.cash fam! I hope you have been good? I've been away for some hours but I'm back and I'm gonna do something differently today.
I was going through @Olasquare 's article when if finally struck me that I should attempt to do something in his style and here it goes. He talked about life in his way and has inspires mine but with a different perspective. I really hope that it comes out well..
From the beginning, it seems like it's gonna be bed of roses
Certainly free from stress, work and a lot of comfort.
Everyone at your beck and call, rushing as the shrill sound of your cries fills the room.
Everyone seems to be waiting on you and it felt so wonderful.
You can't talk but the communication is strong and unique with a bond that is simply heavenly.
You don't speak yet but they seem to hear your thoughts and meet your needs.
It's just simply magical indeed but dosen't lasts forever like you'd hoped.
Where has all the care gone? That connection, has it been severed you think.
Before you recollect yourself, the attention begins to recede,
As it recedes you still hold a certain level of positivity,
Thinking that they're probably just trying to come up with ways to out best their usual performance.
You take solace in the care you get on specific occasions and believe that things will get back to normal soon.
A plethora of activities comes with soon, and so does the responsibilities,
This wasn't the soon you were expecting but this soon seem to have come to stay.
Having no choice, you delve in and try to fiddle your way around things.
How does one survive this? your feeble mind asks.
But you definitely take solace in the fact that you're not alone.
As if that was not enough, the cares have all come to an abrupt halt.
They have all left you and now fend for another, whose cries now send them all on their heels.
Reality has finally hit, and it's now evident that it was a charade.
This all too good fiasco was nothing but a facade,
A facade that has waned to a very harsh reality.
This reality doesn't seem kind at all, and the expectations that it brings are not tender either.
You had thought those responsibilities were the worst, if only you knew.
Now you're expected to find your way and help others with theirs.
A choice you didn't have to make but was made in your stead.
You opened your mouth to complain but they halted you before you could say the words.
Welcome to life they said without bothering to explain.
Life must be so unkind you think, cos the next few days are the worst .
And just when you thought that was all,
Someone dashed your hopes saying worse days are ahead.
Another says ahead might be never for we could all die tonight.
All the people in so called life seemed like villains.
Does that mean I have to become one too? You ask.
But then a kindhearted one surfaces and says,
Tomorrow might just be a good day and we could see the light.
Finally some positivity you sigh..
A small ray of hope that is worth being held onto, in this ridiculous quest.
You're overwhelmed but very much determined,
Having hope as your armour and determination as your ally,
You push to cross the finish line in the seemingly endless journey called life.
Author's Epilogue
I am finally done with it. Wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, I guess I was just over whelmed by thoughts and they just flowed. Incase I am incoherent, I was simply describing life from a toddler's view to a young teenager and then an adult.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy it.
