Slow Down Poem by Kriti Sahay

I can't remember when I started remembering things
Filling dreams with realities and reality with dreams
Started realising my responsibilities as a human being
From walking and playing with life, I started running

I realise getting older with every passing second
Time slipping through my fingers faster than sand
Curious to peek into future and know where I will stand
But still don't dare to open to see what's in the clenched hand

Mind bewildered and confused, thoughts refusing to settle
With every situation I am having an unending battle
I feel like running an endless race, filling a broken vessel
Hey life, what about slowing down a little.
