MY LIFE IN A GLANCE

 

I’ll smile at the face of death 

I’d even laugh hard when it comes

knowing fully well I have lived 

me sef try, e no easy 

I’ve lived a life of fulfillment 

loved so hard cause tomorrow isn’t promised 

I ignore jilt, heartbreaks and scars 

stories I need to gist God when we see 

I seldom cry, it hard for tears to come by 

my head rings always with poems 

multiple voices inspires me incognito 

I’m served inspirations in my dreams to pen down 

often times, I get flashes of my past life 

the forest, river banks or a walk in the rain soothes me

my pains and sorrows has long gone evaporated 

I smile at the face of angst 

I see people for who they truly are 

their hidden beauties and soul 

did I ever mention I hear their thoughts?

maybe that was myself calling out myself

In a glance I look at myself in a mirror 

can’t even remember my motifs again 

my reflection always trouble me 

I smile at it while it frowns
