"I'm sitting here, watching. The view might be narrow, but I can still see. I'm sitting here watching as friends and families and acquaintances too, smile in their pictures and share there happy posts. I'm sitting here, watching as dreams are being made a reality and passions are driving lives to achieve what was once called 'hope'. Am still sitting here, watching as a new business is formed, a new discovery is made, a new product is launched, the song is recorded, another book is published, five kilograms is lost, by that person i know, who obviously isn't me. I'm sitting here, watching, wishing that somehow it was me, but I'm sitting here watching. Watching my ideas sink to their deaths in my mind and my dreams fade away in my heart; my passions misplaced and my hopes dashed by no one but me, sitting, watching. Doing nothing. I'm sitting here, wondering that if others were sitting there, watching like me, the hours would have passed by and we'll still all,be sitting here, watching as everything was nothing. But while I was sitting, watching and wondering, they got up and watched me sit till they were tired of watching me. They wondered what they could do to keep me watching, so they did, and I watched, and they did some more as i watched some more, till they have done all they could do and all i could do was watch their lives matter, watch them make a difference, watch as time slipped by and couldn't watch anymore. Now I'm sitting here, watching myself watch me. I'm sitting here wondering why I'm still sitting here. I heard life isn't a race with men, but does that mean i shouldn't run? I've got a passion, i have a dream, i too have hope that one day the world will watch me. So I'm tired of sitting, I'm tired of watching, I'm tired of wishing it was me achieving something. It's time for me to take my dreams and reach for the skies, to let my passion bring me back to life; so maybe one day, I'll be a bright star, and they too will sit and watch me shine. "
