A Decade



A decade has passed
And memories imprinted
Some blurry, some lasted
People stayed, some hurried
Time told stories in its own pace
Everything meant to be
Everyone in the right space
I have lost and have won
But still I’m not done
So hold my hand and let’s embark
On a journey to leave a mark
I am me and I will live
A life with meaning, meant to give
