An Ode to Charlie


Waiting, this, we were taught well; we were told not to say the first "Hi," never to be caught glancing, never to show any hints of liking unless the guy shows inclinations of fondness first.


I screwed them all- these norms. Aren't they man- made? I came to think about it and it dawned on me that things they consider "out of the usual" are not at all bad, they are things people would wish they'd do but won't- for the fear of negative labels. I learned to know better, chased what I had to chase, said what I had to say and I was happy, I recall being after freeing emotions most people would just opt to keep; for the fear of being the only one to think that way, for the fear of being thought weird.


I am what I am, I'd speak my mind out, of course filtering words which are not pleasing, pondering on would- be actions before delivering them. I risked and fell then helped myself up and having known that pattern, I did not fear to risk again as I know I’d come standing right away each time I fall- with time’s promise of a new day, and with friends; with whom I share millions of laughter with, a ton- load of angst and sentiments, and a drink or two from time to time.


I patiently wait on things I know I am better off with God’s timing, and at the same time work on achieving what He has set for me to claim.
I am a woman and I am not bound to just keep on waiting. I make things happen. And I am not afraid.
