Order NowNow I Know
By:
Jose Paulo Tolentino
Seven months felt like seven year
And now I face my greatest fear
Why before I could never wait
but now I know the heavy weight.
In a strange world, a mad city,
it is tough to be an adult
you take responsibility
to bear frustration and insult
There are days I would like to die
life is not pretty as it seem
Leave this and what do I redeem?
Many I have learned is just a lie
they say I should create a goal
Love and life is what you make it
but somehow it just could not fit
all I have is a hollow soul
From here I don’t know where to go
being an adult, now I know.
