Rose-Coloured Glasses

Content Warning: Discussions of Future Uncertainties

I was once informed

that

life travels blissfully when moving ahead

but if you turn around, 

the road you constructed 

yearns to retrace your steps.

 

Retreating,

being surrounded 

by our memories.

Offering an escape, 

a sense of comfort

like a warm blanket 

during the winter.

It is so tempting

 

Should I stay.

Should I try

to relive the beginning. 

Isn’t it better that way?

Or should I carry on

with my journey

i’m torn

 

Am I seeing things 

through rose-coloured glasses

or am I

afraid 

of facing 

what’s right

in front of me
