At times in life we all grow weak

At times in life

We grow weak and tired

Sharply the meaninglessness of life snaps

The emptiness of existence strikes our heart

We suddenly seem a little lost a little lonely

So many tears

So many laughter

So many heart breaks

So many unfulfilled promises

So many fears

In just one life

"That starts with a groan

And end with a sigh"

We wish to be young again

To undo the consequences of our choices

Of good friends we let go

Of wrong companies we held close

Of tragedies that left spikes in our mind

A short lingering moment of reality

The cradle becomes the home we all long to return

As if infants to have no worries

The tears will never dry

Even if the eyes grows blind

But the heart has magic in it

If only we can learn

That life is just an incompressible fragment of eternity

A clown never to be taken serious

A frailty never to be trifled with
