REPLICA by Jess Evangelista

How long have you been staring at yourself?
How long have you been thinking it's not perfect?
But maybe, yes, it's not really the things that will make you okay,
And this nightmare always happen everyday.

Sometimes, you would think what tomorrow prepares for you,
But, most of the time you regret the yesterday and what you have done too,
Who knows, maybe it is always preparing a price?
Everyday happiness even when you roll the dice.

When your day sucks, don't worry, it's just your day and not you,
As long as you're living, you can nourish your own as it grew,
You can either change or stay, your fate is just in your hand,
You have the control of it but not like a magic wand.

Always remember that your self is your only light in darkness,
When the war starts, trust yourself whole with no less,
When everything falls down and you were left alone,
Don't be scared and just chill like an ice cream in a cone.

Before, you wished you had someone by your side,
Someone who can be yourself in all the times,
Sorry, but you can't have that someone when you have yourself and your family,
You can't have your replica when you already have them to make you happy.
