I just paused not stopped,
Paused to look around the world
that was moving ahead with the speed of light
No matter if some one is falling
apart or standing high
Everyone is trying to be ahead
in the race of life.
When I paused in this race
I had a fear of stumbling upon
on someone who is still the part of that chase
Fear of getting knocked down by someone who wants to win
it no matter what it takes.
Fear of judgmental eyes who will
question my existence because unlike others
I took a pause in this race.
When I paused in this race
I came across someone who were
unhappy in the skin
Which covered them
few cribbed for being dark and
few cried upon
for being plump
there were also few who were
tagged as third gender
just because their soul was
captivated in a wrong body
which society found
hard to blend.
When I paused in this race
I realised that not everyone
wants to be part of this race
There are few who wish to change
their path
And walk against the way that
everyone is walking on
They are the one who wants to sail
the ship against the waves
Fighting against the harsh
stream chasing their dreams.
When I paused I realised that everyone is
facing their own share of odds
In their own beautiful way and still
moving on
It is time for me to pull up my
socks and join the run
Hop on with smile and enjoy even
the fall
Because I just paused not
stopped
