Let's live!
Run away with me!
I have felt this, far too many times for it to be left unsaid. I promise you a life of adventure, limitless fun, dollops of honesty and countless, shimmering moments of passion that will translate into the strings of memories you will be pulled by, the silly puppet you are.
So why do you hold back? What keeps you thinking over and over about the little things that won't matter two years from now? Why do you let yourself lie awake, hounded by your worst fears, in a world that only asks you to seize this moment and be truest to it?
Why would you waste these precious, irretrievable moments of your life, in pretension? Why would you choose to not let your loved ones know their irreplaceable value in your momentary, fragile lives? Why would you spend your days, counting down to the moment, when you finally fit into the wooden frame you are already conditioning yourself to grow into- leaving behind all your childlike innocence, touching naivete and immense faith in the belief that you were born to do extraordinary things. Why do you wish to conform for the sake of acceptance when a box will never do anything to protect you, rather, shall only shut you into a cube of darkness where your light will go out for the lack of fresh air, to keep it breathing?
Why would you let your life slip away, in these pathetic moments of self-doubt, mourning and loss when you could just as easily face your pain, your happiness and leave no road untaken, instead?
"Waqt ki kaid mein, zindagi hai, magar
Chand ghadiyaan, yahi hain, jo azaad hain
Inko khokar, meri jaan-e-jaan,
Umr bhar na taraste raho
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo."
