MY LIFE



With the sky lighten up by the stars
sitting near the window,
wondering what happiness and joy truly are.

Admiring the beauty of the moon,
thinking about what would come soon.

Worried about the future,
worried of ending up a loser.

Trying to be perfect,
trying to become what people expect.

I regret the time I wasted,
I regret how fast the time flew.

So many places I could have been,
so many things I could have done.

But I know that this will pass,
that this Is not gonna last.

So, live the life you love,
and love the life you live.
For It is very short
and cannot be bought.
