GROW
What scares me most
When I wake – realizing that
I am where I was
A day before.

Things don't change do they?
A question that races through my heart.
Then I'll quit,
If things don't go my way.

I pick up my pencil to sketch a new world,
But how could I do that,
When the pencil itself is broken.
Crying and craving for a change.

Babies grow and turn into adults.
It's not right to cry for a long time.
I really need to grow,
Cause my old stuffs don't fit anymore.

I've gotten smarter and taller,
But still dressed in my old uniform.
Aren't I bigger than that?
I muttered to myself.

I take a step.
I take seven steps more,
Not to my left nor my right,
But behind me.

I asked myself, am I really growing?
Staring into the mirror,
My reflection made me know –
That I wasn't growing.

Life was unstable as the water,
And I knew I had to expand –
If I really want to be heard by many.

I started taking in more cups of faith.
Eliminating fear and distraction which hunted me everyday.
With time, I gained more.
I grew more.

It didn't just end there.
I yearned for more.
I longed for growth –
And I'm still growing.

"GROWING is not for a particular time. Grow everyday and keep growing to you maximize your potential".
