a never-ending book full of thoughts.

life gets harder
every day, doesn't it?

the obstacles
in it just get
harder and harder.
but we can't do
anything to stop
it from getting harder.

can we really do
something about it?
well, we can't stop
it from growing harder
just like we can't stop time
from moving so fast.

but they say,
there's no life
obstacles given to
you that requires
more than the
strength you have.
they say, you can handle it.

but everything's different
for each person, right?
how do they know
how you feel?
how are they so sure
that they know
how i feel?

oh right,
they're more
experienced in life.
but you can't define
someone's maturity just
from their age.
age is just a number, right?

sometimes, you decide to
follow their words.
sometimes, you feel like 
giving up and trying is useless.
but maybe, just maybe,
they do have a point.
even though they don't know
exactly how you feel
while going through your life.

and maybe,
they have hidden secrets
and hard times
they've went through in the past.

even though
i'm not so
sure of myself;
i still
spoke to
myself,
" am i
really that
strong? "
and i kept going on.
