Young life is innocent and beautiful

Full of smiles and laughter

Love and care engulfed us all

But when you have opened your eyes

Nothing is as it seems

Thrown into the cruel world

Left in the dark to fend for ourselves

Opportunities and chances pass by

Made the wrong decisions and choices

Made the wrong turn somewhere

Born to make the sacred mistakes

Tears shed and lessons of life learned

Regretting, resenting and forgiving ourselves

Cannot help but be terrified of the future

Yet the flow of life never stops by once

Through sweat and tears, success earned

Expectations fulfilled and dreams lost

Realizing life has been too short

Hoping to look back in time someday

And smile again because in the end

What's meant to be has found its way.
