by Inas Essa
Teach me how to live,
Tell me, where all past years are?
Buried into the mud, or faded away into the air?
Teach me how to live,
Tell me, where all forgotten dreams went,
From afar, Looking at minds created?
Teach me how to live,
Tell me, how can a broken heart, barely beating,
With its scar, continues living?
Teach me how to live,
Tell me, when a person can forget naivety, be aware
Deal with life with a scale?
Teach me how to live,
Tell me, why all that jealousy and hatred
Among people, though finally meet in the same end?
Teach me how to live,
Tell me, about me, who will care
While all my dears went so far?
Till yet, got no answers,
Still in the same bewilderment
With the same inquires.
And now, let me live, for present is not as long as the past,
"Go on, life will teach you"
Is the only answer, I trust.
