When I was twelve,
I watched lonely planet a lot
Back then astro was
quite a new thing for us
so to have the world shown to you
by a little box at home was something amazing
The way Ian and Asha
explored every inch of the world
triggers this little bug in me
that says
' I want to do that too someday '
When I was seventeen
I was about to finish high school
with the dream that
I will be flying out in no time
I imagined myself
on a green fields somewhere
in a campus
where it is 8c all year round
I spoke a lot about leaving
and do things I want to do
When I was twenty
I watched updates
on the Instagram of friends
in different places of the globe.
I envied those grabbing chances
I couldn't
and experiencing things
I can only imagine of
I developed hatred and jealousy
on others for chasing their dreams
When I was twentytwo
and still loyal to my nation
I talked about conquering the map again
This time I can almost feel
that it will happen soon
I can almost taste the air
where they eat cheese for breakfast
and smell the soil
where snow melts in spring
But along with that courage
comes obligations and constrictions
When will I finally be chasing my dreams?
I know for sure it's not here
its somewhere out there
between the coordinates
Maybe if I believe hard enough
I'll spread my wings
and catch those dreams
from ten years and more
