RETROSPECTION

I whisper deep in my heart,
I ask myself,
About life and what I've done,
Every second ticked,
Every minute moved,
Every hour passed,
Was it worth the trouble
For me to be alive,
What I've done
Today and tomorrow,
That I wished I'll don't,
And all those things
I should have did
Was all memories.

Wordless
The ignoble truth revealed,
When I sit down and do nothing,
Someone somewhere
Change the world.
If only I took up the chance passing by,
I would be happier,
Or do I?
Maybe,
It's just the dream afraid of waking,
That will never learns to live.

SIMILARITY

Bobbing up and down,

Always latent, sometimes monumental,

The shattered mirror’s full of past’s stains,

I was judged at a very young age,

I was punished to “hell” by the society,

Please show me the way in,

Or the door can’t correctly reply,

So I don’t move on, to let it all aside.

Forgive them, they do not know,

They don’t bother to look,

They shy away responsibility,

They do not use words fluently but wickedly,

We share the same name of humanity,

But not the same spirit.

Forgive them, they have no value,

Neglectfulness breeds within,

Like cancerous disease,

Without love, they love to hurt,

We share the same name of humanity,

But not the same heart.

FATE IN LIFE, CHANCE IN COINCIDENCE

Unexpected things

often arrived in our life

was it the fate of life,

or just a coincidence in a chance.

We continue to discuss,

the question of life and choice.

we philosophize and argue

on the nature of good and evil,

we debate and theorize

the morality of society,

while honesty is scarce in our heart,

no wonder an answer was never found.

Although we are offered

with a wide range of choices,

decision that shaped our perception,

stance which formed our reality,

beguiled by

our own ill-perceived “intelligence”

and pretense “wisdom”,

then why often we see,

our choice does not meet our expectation.

Until it is so frightful,

to face the unknown future,

Clueless on how to face

the challenging world,

As if made obsolete

a life of goodness.

There’s one thing,

for me, that bears a lot of meaning,

in gathering strength

to brave myself through

this cruel world,

but I worry to say so,

troubled that mistakes would be repeated.

MIRROR OF LIFE

When I was young,

nothing was possible,

And everything was wonderful,

Achievement was always on your doorstep,

You’ll get it on your own way.

I was carefree,

I’ll do anything I want to do,

Without worrying even a second thought,

I’ll know there’ll be someone on my back,

Keeping me safe and secure,

And thus my dreams were as limitless

As if only the sky was the limit.

Wonder where all the confidence

Drained away,

As I looked back in the mirror now,

I was free back then,

But now I feeling the burden

Piling up on my shoulder.

Responsibility,

Is what you have to bear when

You grow older,

A tiresome life being an adult,

Enough to reminisce my childhood,

Just to recollect those missing pieces

Of distant memory.

I used to pray day and night,

God, make me an adult soon,

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time?

An irony, indeed.

The one thing you want is

The one thing you’ll later regret.

Make believe as much as I want,

The past cannot returned back

To my aged figure.
