The World 'I' Own
From three, to the current me

I'm 3, at my house,
Hiding within my mom's arms from the scary mouse.
In my Papa's lap,
Taking the relaxing nap.
With them, I spend my entire day and night,
From the moment the sun rises to the moment where there's no light.
We play games together from breakfast to dinner,
And magically I am always the one emerging as the winner.
I miss the innocence of mine while being a child,
When life used to happen itself and everyone seemed mild.
And now, I'm so scared to step outside
in the world made of lies, failures, confusion, and fights.
I rather prefer to stay inside-
inside my truths, inside my comfort zone
inside my world , the world 'I' own.
But then I asked myself-
What's the point of living if I stop,
what's the point of stopping if I've to live.
To keep the balance you must ride,
Show the strong side of you that you always hide.
Thanks @hardy for making my piece a masterpiece <3
