Just have patience
“Just have patience,” they said
As you watch your dreams scattered into pieces and forcing yourself take a different road that you’d never pray for or even dream of.
As you look around and find no one who lend a hand and all they do is just saying,
“Just have patience.”
So you did, and you took your first step and eventually drown into uncertainty. Not even trying to save yourself, but a light in your heart keep screaming,
“Just have patience.”

But now the babies are running and the food is something no one could live without.
So you try to make the best out of it, trying to keep on building mountains and hoping they’ll turn to gold.
“Just have patience,” you said to yourself
So you did, and you watch yourself laughing with the people you could never imagine living without, as they show you many shapes of love you never know existed before.
And it only takes you “Just have patience”,
To see that your scattered dreams now turn into something you wouldn’t even want to trade for the world, into a place you wouldn’t want to be anywhere but here.
To see that all your unfortunate dreams fortunately brought you to another dreams that slowly came true as you wake up from your sleep.
And now you became a person that your old self would be so proud of, a person that makes your old self believe that amidst the chaos there’s still hope. And now you know it’s worth it all this time.
So the next time you face something you think you wouldn’t survive, you know now that all you need to do is to just have patience.
