Am i still that kid?

He saw kids on car's
but he trek with his mom
the kid's wear fancy clothes
but he was on tarsh clothes
very cute sandals were on each of them
but his mom managed to buy him flip flop in every six months
he knows they were less privilege
but he promised himself that he was going to change it.

His mother was a single mom
she managed to weed peoples farm
go errands for people
and also sells beans cake on the road side to care for him
with the hardest life he was growing into
he had wisdom
he was serious with things he do
he nailed everything within him perfectly
then moved very good on his way
today he can look at himself
he is proud of who he has become
he change his mom's story
and he changed his own story
moreover his kid wouldn't be lacking things.

He remembers he used to wear one short
for days and other kids can change as many as
he used to wear cutting slippers for many months
without hope of getting a new one
hairs used to grow all over his face
but today he can't afford barbing
he is that kid but he has had a breakthrough
he wants better things and it locate him
those tears he felt then
became tears of joy today
life became good to him and his mom
he appreciates his mother
for a strong and beautiful woman she is.

No matter how tough and heart breaking it is for you today, do not give up, continue to hold on strong, do what you are doing well, and sooner you will still smile like others.

We have the power to change our story, if you don't like your story, be assured that you can change it, and it will be just the way you want. Life will always be favorable when we are ready to look at the favorable side.

Feedback from the May Hive Power Up Day
Hive Power Up Month Challenge - April 2025 Winners List
Be ready for the May edition of the Hive Power Up Month!

I read a very beautiful poem. "Am I Still That Kid" – Seeing this name somehow took my mind back to my childhood days. We were all young once, how much life changes with time, right? The me of that childhood and the me of today seemed like a very natural question. Reading your poem reminded me of myself too. You have expressed a deep thought in a very simple and sincere way. I enjoyed reading it.

I got the inspiration as i realized that something's peoples around me used to dream of, are beginning to come close to them, And, just as that kid, he said it directly that he is not far from the things that were difficult to have as a kid.

Relating this to myself, I can see that I am not different too on this aspects, as I see myself climbing some ladders, I thought will be difficult. Happy weekend friend.
