And Then It Happened

June 26, 2019

And then it happened-

Just seventeen lying in my bed

with a series of thoughts going through my head

and I just so happened to be thinking aloud and here is what I said-

"Just yesterday I thought as a child

assuming that life is full of happiness and smiles-

Just yesterday I talked like a child

saying everything on my mind all boisterous and loud-

Just yesterday I walked like a child

with no care in the world-

Just yesterday I was a child

but today well here is what I learned-

Most days are like the sky either cloudy or blue

Smiles only imprinted permanently on the faces with those without a clew

about this life

Today I have become just a little wiser

and I find that actions speak louder than words

Now I walk like a prospect instead of a suspect and demand respect

Today I started acting more like a man

And then it happened, today my mother busted in my room and said Happy Birthday!
