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.
