lovers lament
|
there is no time for me to run around
thinking everything lasts forever.
i've had enough taken from me to learn
nothing lasts infinitely and never will be said
(whether we want to hear it or not).
i cannot afford to be like my peers-
full of irrational hopes and dreams,
placing marriage as a frontrunner in my aspirations
not realizing that marriage is only green for a short time
and then hardens and becomes cold.
i am aware that death may take me
whenever and however he may choose.
life is fickle and must not be taken for granted
though the path is sometimes uneven and easy to lose;
that's just the way it goes.
i have no use for tragic melodrama
every setback is not necessarily defeat.
i must stand on this mountain of hardships
look back to the past and forward to a future unseen and unknown,
afraid but not overcome.
i am a creature of boundless possibility...
limitations, like rules, are made to be broken.
i will never crumble because i've been hurt too much.
i will never again regret words i've left unspoken,
there is no time.
