Waterfall

Back in those days.

Everything seemed so simple.

Too simple to be the truth.

I still believed in it.

Knew that if I keep doing so.

I can hurt myself.

I was a tiny stream.

Thought everything was black and white.

I wasn't aware of all the other colors and shades.

As I grew older.

I noticed changes.

Small changes that became a big deal.

My tiny stream.

Slowly became bigger.

And formed into a river.

More pleasure and freedom.

But that wasn't all the flowed in.

There was also responsibilities and pain.

No one ever told me.

That growing up.

Is not a children's play.

I assumed it was easy.

That bossing around and buying things.

Was all one had to do.

But now I'm not blind with hope.

Now I'm a ocean.

Bombarded with choices and regret.

All I wish now is to go back.

To when I was a tiny stream.

And I'm scared of what's to come.

Before I know it.

I will have more difficulties.

And become a waterfall.
