Faded

They say that time will eventually fade out your dreams, but I don't believe 

I never did

Should I even believe it?

From what I remember vividly in my mind,
as a kid we ran so fast to race with time to get older, be matured, to fit in bigger sized shirts
to hope to have freedom
of course the big-league is
to achieve our dreams -what we hope to be, what we hope to see

Hours after hours, years after years,
finally we somehow evolved to a taller person, to a person that is not classified as a kid anymore.

At that adolescence stage of ours, we might be energetic and tired at the same time,
realising real life is a struggle and that society is the burning fire -sometimes the flame is bearable sometimes it's not

We were happy with the growth, watching ourselves change, day after day.
Then we came a stage of life where we became indecisive, we became directionless
The path in front is being shovelled perfectly fine, and you know that is not what we want, it will not lead us to the destination on your map.
Courage -are you a creator or a follower
Many of us chose the path that are perfectly fine just with some pebbles and gravels that does no harm to us.

"Well, let's try, if it does not work, let's move on the other path"
That's what we often say, or it's just me

The truth is, we get so comfortable with what's being arranged for us (especially Asian kids)
We once say we will keep doing things we love and find another turnover point to get back on path

How many of us really did?
Suddenly seeing things at this age seems so scary
What's in front is to blur to be seen, it's literally a Smokey Hazy Valley.

This is not who I see myself to be years before
This is not the one person I see myself to be
This is not who I want my past to see

Time has moved so fast that it eventually ate up my courage and motivation
Struggling with the thought of staying in this comfort zone or to go out and do what I should

The answer is pretty obvious at this point
Most of them will say "Go geddit, go fight, with no regrets"

I know. But now I can't
My dreams has been faded away
I lost my motivation
I lost my petite courage

Has time put everything in a fading palette of colors?
At least I know I need to regain my motivation and passion to reignite my long lost dreams

I don't mind the time, I mind the journey
I don't mind how long it takes, I mind when I never try at all
I don't mind if it's baby steps, I mind when it's a no step taken

I mind if I don't try at all
For now, I have no burden, I only have me and only me to answer to
And that I am a free bird roaming free

Take your time, free bird, fly and fly higher when you're ready
Time will bring you a courage test to be a wiser and courageous bird

Time will fade out your dreams, I believe it now, only if you let it happen 

Fly, just spread your wings
Go
