I sit with someone and asked them about all of the horrible things they have done in their life
I listened to the way how they tell a story
I heard how felt like to lose their parents
How their first love broke their heart
I listened to how their voice cracked
While their tone becomes so deep but realistic
They shared their frustrations about studying
Their struggle about working
They told a story about betrayal of a friend
And how they lose a hope for their dreams
They shared their moments of peril and moments of truth.
After those things I heard from them
They laughed as if they are not hurt
They smiled as if they are really happy
As if they are okay
As if they are strong everyday
And from that moment I realised that life is not always being on the top
But rather, life is a rotation of the earth on its axis
It composed of bright and dark moments.
So, get up, it's okay!
