“Lovely Daffodils’ Take Time to Grow”
By: Khatoon Hazara

 

 

 

I was once a sprout; a sapling

I was a baby chick

These are thing in which I was

Once

 

 

 

Now?

Now I am a circle; always repeating; one life event after the next

Now; I am something exactly like the concept of déjà vu

Always repeating

 

 

 

There are certain signs that I look for

Some things; little cues

Cues that trigger something in my head

They’re merely just hallucinations

 

 

 

I was once a lovely daffodil

Swaying with the wind

But now; try as he might

That tender wind doesn’t faze me anymore

 

 

 

But

As time goes

Lovely daffodils take time to grow

And sometimes, they take pills of reality while they’re at it
