half empty

It just came across my mind

How it would feel to become a child again

I stared at the mirror

Imagining how I looked when I was a child

Not just the outlook

But how I basically feel in every situation that comes

Honestly, I couldn’t recall a thing

But I know being a child is the happiest moment or the stage of a person’s life

No pretenses, no hesitation, no complications, no whatsoever

But as I thought more

I came to realize that life could be so complicated

I see more of things not in the eyes of a child…

And made me think more…

It brought about my mind that many are less fortunate and few are privileged

And I thank God that I’m one of the few

I was privilege of a name, a home, a family, an education and friends..

And yet I feel less of a person

I remember one said that the most stupid thing a person could do

Is think less of himself

And now I feel STUPID!

But all I wish now

Is to feel and see like a child

Maybe in that way, I won’t feel less of myself

Maybe in that way, I could be happy and utter a great real big smile,

not just to people who see me but to myself most importantly.
