There was a time

There was a time when all was perfect, though you were unaware. Life was breezy, dreams were hopeful and the life ahead of you exciting. There were certainties, friendships for life and troubles fixable with cuddles.

There was a time when everything was suddenly wrong, and it was right on your face no matter how much you tried to ignore it. The journey was dull, the nights a shelter, and a way out not in sight. There were too many questions, people who became strangers and a hole no-one could fill in.

There was a day you discovered you were in control, and you hadn’t even noticed. Life was bearable, dreams were just fiction and you could breathe again. You had learned to cope with the questions, understood there aren’t perfect people and realized that maybe you are the one responsible to fill in the void.
