My Past, My Present, and My Future
By Alex | From : Dominican Republic | School : Boston International Newcomers AcademyPast:
I am an alien from another place,
I belong but
at the same time don’t
taking place in existence
but disappearing as dust.
Full in meaning and purpose,
empty in thought
empty in action.
With empty dreams
warm as a star but cold as an iceberg
Deeds that are no longer remembered
meaningless as a non cloudy storm.
Born twice in life but dying once
walking in a path
preparation for a dusty life.
Without self control
guided by purpose
for everything has one
and everything goes to the cosmos.
This is me,
a being with different appearance,
an empty basket
that will be filled soon
with fruit that doesn’t spoil.
Present
I am a dying star but there is no more time
at the shiniest point, just a pause.
Now I’m from where I know,
not where I currently belong,
for what I learned before is not me anymore.
I am going back to the place I left,
for I don’t belong somewhere else,
on my way to a near future
maybe tomorrow, maybe now, time doesn’t count.
For this purpose, it is worth it.
The way is hard to overcome,
hard to see,
easy to fall,
every moment is measured
like the space grows and never stops.
But everything becomes invisible.
Nothing is compared to that future.
I surely will be there,
for I see it and feel it
like a story for many,
but a life of mine
like a poem you read,
like one you write
like a famous song,
like a song of your life.
For sure, returning is my only light.
Future
Dear future Alex,
In 10 years I see you in a new place
that looks exactly made for you, and for your family. There you will stay forever,
and you will do whatever you want to,
not worrying if it will be well done,
or if there is love or not.
In that place you will see your parents and family at every moment,
and live without space limitations,
not like back then but extendable.
You won’t be better or worse than others at any point, humble as the darkness in the universe,
And bright like stars in the cosmos.
