Mundane

Time really flies and life is also passing by...

I am the season

changing

I am the sun

shining

I am the river

flowing

What more can I be?

Everyone  can be anything

or so they say

Twinkling star emerged from the dark

Lighting the scary night

The mountain stood still

The plant grows

That's how they should be

But a fish cannot climb a tree

A bird cannot cook

A stone cannot talk

Real talk?

Choices are limited

A person can only be

what he is fitted to do

Life is not Disney

where a talking frog turns into a prince

Not also Marvel

That has Captain America to save the day

You can only be a man of responsibility

Genies can't fulfill your wishes

For they do not esist

Keep your head off cloud nine

Brace yourself

Life could be an inferno of failed ambition

Author's Note

Do not stray from what is real...

Great poem on staying realistic with our expectations and goals. We should first evaluate ourselves, specifically our passion and interests. Then, our goals can align better with our actual capabilities. While fantasy is inspiring, it's also exactly that--fantasy.

With hard work and ambition, we can be our own hero.
