PPF (Past Present Future)

At a lonely night, I stand in front of mirror

Looking at my own face

Which is getting older and

Look so different with the face when I was born

At a lonely night, I sit near to the window

Remembering every moment

That has ever happened

They were full of happiness and sorrows

How beautiful this world is

Oh dear! What are you doing here?

I’m thinking about my past

Your past?

Wake up please!

Don’t you realize it is just a past?

Pardon me?

On the road ways,

Thousands of vehicles of people

Are struggling for their life

Working, schooling,

Chased by the time

And have you done?

Just regretting, show the face of hopelessness

No dear! You must awake! Come on!

Don’t you know this world was just too cruel?

Just like a disaster which never comes to an end

I’m tired of this life

It is full of contempt, revenge, and pain

No! It is because you only see

The sorrowful things that happened

Look! There are still many wonderful things surround us

And, the one of the wonders also inside you

I don’t care what that was!

What have already done to me, I can’t forgive it

They only seek for me when I have everything

They be my friends only when they need something

But, I already lose everything, I gave all to them!

I don’t have or own anything anymore

They discriminate, exile me

I’m not part of them anymore, they kick me out!

Just hold it, calm down! Inhale and exhale

Stop thinking like that

Life is more precious than that

You must look forward now

What about your family?

My family?

What about your love?

My lover

What about your future?

What will you do in the future?

My future? My dreams?

You still have a friend that always by your side,

Always be there for you,

Always support you while you don’t realize it

I’m your “that friend”

My best friend?

Really?

Don’t you believe in me?

Thank you

You are my real best friend

From now on,

I will be more enjoying this life

Appreciate more people that really love me

People surround you that care for you

Enjoy my time with them

Because,

The time we already spent can’t come again tomorrow
