Endings and Beginnings

By Cassandra Narayan, Out Of School

Endings and beginnings.
A road to wherever life path is shown before us.
We have moved through time and space for a millennia.
We have created, we have achieved, we have lived.
How it tells a million things, life being ours to share.
A new year, a fresh start to something new.
How it is gradual for when the time is ripe, it will unfold before you.
Stories, truths, or even lies do co-exist in the complexities of our words, lingering in our minds.
What we hear, what we say, what it is that we do to make the moments we have more worth our while.
We will not stop, though we hesitate to.
We won’t give in, though we are tempted to.
You see how vast our perceptions are, with our minds, given our bodies, given our realities.
We face whatever life throws at us, or we cower away in fear of confrontation.
Neither of us are a coward, neither of us are little.
We are huge, vast like the world we live in.
We are truly one of a kind, sharing life with one another.
So, never live behind those closed doors of doubt, worry or fear.
Be upright, stand tall, be unashamed of who you are and believe.
Love.
