Theme: Growing up, life lessons
Everybody dies at the end.
As my hair begins to fade away,
I have resented life for the reason I've become.
they say I've changed; l say nothing is constant.
looking back at pictures, careless and free—
happily dancing as they cheered with glee.
life brings the greatest experience;
but it always leads to uncertainties.
Moments are caught in a glimpse of favor;
Cherished and kept in a lock forever.
Those grieve to what they don’t notice,
Realized the chains of the past— never opened.
Have I ever lived a fulfilling life?
The light that hits my sleepless eyes,
Oh, I gaze in hallucinating as I utter:
“Everything is fine.”
The leaves of the trees have withered away,
Onto a crisp— I’ve felt my life crumple.
Written in paper, everything has been planned;
In detail by a Creator who created the universe.
Was the cause of my downfall,
The gain to an uprising—
Where others can benefit,
The fortune and foundations of life?
A mother birthed new life—
but another loses one soul to the trickery of time.
Everything is temporary, and life is a delusion
say’s the philosopher who despises the living
At the end of the clear pavement,
I’ve realized life’s purpose is not contentment;
it’s the experiences you deal with,
That leaves a pinnacle to your existence.
