Life, It Seems
Everyone keeps on saying
You’re still young
You still got ample of time
Ahead of you, enjoy it
Cease the moment
Time will come and the life
You’ve always imagined
You’ve always dreamed for
Will come to you, so wait.
But ah, the young ones
Patience
Is not their virtue
And they tend to ignore
And forget to listen
They can’t wait to grow up
Believing that time
Is not on their side
And they’ve got to chase it
Or else they’d be left behind.
Nobody told them that time
Time will never be on their side
It was nobody’s
For it seems
Shorter when you’re having fun
And longer when you’re sad.
They didn’t tell you
That life, will never be handed to you
In a silver platter
They didn’t tell you
That life, eventually
Will drain you
Till you’ve got nothing to give.
They didn’t tell you
That life, eventually
Will drown you
Until you gasp for air
And it was then you realized
It was your own tears
That has been drowning you.
And now that you’ve grown older
Can you honestly utter
“This is the life that I’ve always wanted” ?
That this is the life that you’ve settled for?
If that is true then, believe me when I say
You are one of the few
Who could say that
“I’ve lived my life to the fullest.”
