You excelled yourself; You created yourself from scratch You didn’t accept the modesty of your roots You didn’t accept what you were born into You didn’t accept any of what you have been told About who you were About who you should become About how the world was About all the rights and the wrongs You rejected all the fears they tried to impose on you You rejected all the judgements they tried to define you by You rejected all the restrictions by which they tried to imprison you For a mind with a vision is untameable And a brain that questions is limitless Ideas cant be put in cages You have been a restless soul You wanted to decide for yourself You wanted the truth You moved continents to seek it What you found was freedom Utter frightening freedom Of choice Of belief Of thought Your exploration liberated you forever Then you made a decision To throw yourself out there To make every possible mistake In the pursuit of tasting all that glory Of experiencing all there is Of maybe achieving wild dreams someday You burned yourself with the fire that you started within You failed tremendously, your heart broke into millions of pieces That shattered into the ground With an immense noise You had been numb You had lost all hope But that one bit of courage left in your heart Made you dream another dream Knowingly it might fail again And again And again Then you learned a valuable thing That life was about doing your best Then hoping for the best As the story was not about perfection But improvement Not about control But about adaption Then spring came Not much has changed But you did You let go of that heavy grief you carried around You were light as a feather once again Your heart was filled with new blossoms of hope But no entitlement No obsessions For you realised opportunities surrounded you One lost chance didn’t mean much In the lands of abundance The days passed on so quickly Weeks passed Months passed But you decided not to look in the calendar anymore For time was a man made concept It didn’t exist in the universal infinity we were rolling in And everyone had their own timing And no one is to be compared with anyone What matters is progress only And progress will happen as long as you are courageous As long as you are courageous my darling, you will never be mediocre
