Half Complete Poem by Jhayvee M

Time, it’s not an enigma but a phenomenon
Passage of something we can never control
How one would wish he can control it
How one would try to gain power over it

One might rather opt to just make time pass by
Would rather stay and be left behind
Contented with what he doesn’t have
Not compelled to achieve what he could have had

I pity them just as I used to pity my self
I used to never have the drive to achieve
Until one night I was awakened by a sudden urge
I came into realization that to reach my goal
I must sweat blood and tears for it

Now that I’m growing old and coming to age
The urge to succeed grows even deeper
The drums playing inside my head goes louder and louder
And my heart pounds harder and harder

But wait; let me first catch my breath
‘Cause every once in a while I need to stop and think
And one may even wonder what drives me
Cause to have such a drive I must have such reasons
Definitely I have! Not just one actually but a couple

The first of course is my family,
My ever wonderful family
If I can make them happy I’ll be ecstatic
Just to make them proud I’ll be almost complete

Almost? One may wonder why I said just almost
It’s because of that one very special person
Who long ago has taken my heart
And up to this very day she owns it
Up to this very day she owns my heart

But how I wish it’s also the case the other way around
How I’m dreaming to know that I own her heart too
But dreams are for dreamers
So I should just keep on dreaming
For at least in my dreams my life is complete
At least in my dreams I always have that special person.
