Time Doesn't Care | Ronit

-
Time doesn’t care about your plans.
It doesn’t wait because you’re confused.
It just moves.

I used to think I had a lot of it.
Whole years.
Endless tomorrows.

But somehow school ended.
People changed.
Some friends became strangers.
And I don’t even remember when that happened.

That’s how time works.
It doesn’t break the door.
It slowly rearranges the room
while you’re busy looking at your phone.

We say, “I’ll start next month.”
“I’ll fix things later.”
“I’ll say sorry tomorrow.”

But tomorrow feels brave only in imagination.
In real life, it comes quietly
and leaves even faster.

Sometimes I look at old photos
and I can’t believe
that version of me
thought he had forever.

We all think that.

We waste hours proving ourselves
to people who won’t remember us.
We delay dreams
because we’re scared of failing.
We stay silent
when we should speak.

And time?
It keeps walking.

The scary part isn’t getting old.
The scary part is realizing
you were alive
but not really living.

Time is not loud.
It doesn’t warn you.
It doesn’t argue.

It just keeps count.

So maybe the point isn’t to control it.
Maybe the point is to respect it.

Call that person.
Start that thing.
Write that idea.
Take that risk.

Because one day
you’ll look back
and understand—

Time didn’t betray you.
You just assumed
it would wait. 🤗

Slow Progress Still Counts: A Deep Poem on Patience and Growth

-
Image
It doesn’t roar, it doesn’t shine, it doesn’t arrive with applause or signs. It moves in silence, quiet and slow, like roots beneath that no one knows. You wake each day, you try again, no sudden change, no visible gain. The world runs fast, you barely crawl, and sometimes you feel like nothing at all. You look around, they rise, they win, while you still fight the war within. Their steps are loud, yours feel small, and doubt begins to question it all. “Is this enough?” your tired mind asks, “Or am I just avoiding the task?” But growth is not a race to prove, it’s the courage to quietly move. Like a drop of water on stubborn stone, it shapes the surface though alone. Not in a day, not in a week, but in the patience the strong ones keep. You are building what can’t be seen, discipline sharp, and a steady routine. While others chase the fastest way, you are learning how to stay. Because slow steps do something rare, they teach your soul to truly care. They build a strength that doesn’t b...

Youth's Quiet Fire: Poetry on Dreams, Resilience, and Rising Again

-
Image
Youth is not noise, it is a quiet fire burning behind steady eyes that refuse to look down. But sometimes, it is also a storm. An adrenaline rush in the veins, a heartbeat that runs faster than logic, Low patience, high potential. Quick to react, slow to calculate sometimes weak in reasoning, yet bold enough to take the leap others only think about. It runs toward love, toward career, toward money as if all three are finish lines in the same race. Between twenty and thirty, time sharpens its edge. These years do not whisper they decide direction. They build foundations or cracks that echo later. Youth feels peer pressure  like a silent competition. Family expectations like weight on the shoulders. Society paints pictures of success and luxury  lavish homes, perfect health, flawless lives. And sometimes, in chasing that shine, it swipes a credit card to buy a future not yet earned and falls quietly into the ditch of loans High hormones high risks. Some decisions imp...

Borrowed Happiness: A Poem on Fleeting Joy

-
Image
A borrowed smile, stitched in haste, fits like a glove, yet leaves a trace; a silver lining on borrowed skies, bright enough to fool the eyes. Laughter dances, light as air, spilled like wine in crowded glare; all sunshine and roses on the face, while shadows linger out of place. Hand-me-down joy, worn thin and light, a candle flickering borrowed bright; it warms the hands, but not the core, a knock that never meets the door. Cup half full in passing cheer, clinking glasses, borrowed cheer; yet beneath the polished gleam, runs a crack no one has seen. A fleeting guest with gilded grace, leaves no footprints, claims no space; like castles built on shifting sand, it slips away from an open hand. Dressed to the nines in fleeting delight, dancing on edges, avoiding the night; a feather in cap, a borrowed crown, worn for a moment, then handed down. The clock ticks soft, the curtain falls, echoes fade through empty halls; the borrowed light begins to dim, a fading hymn at twilight’s rim. Wha...
