SO LITTLE TIME

With so little time
How can one measure life?
If it is too short to live
Too short to grief over a berieved one

Sometimes it feels like I am abandoned
I can not figure out my true self
Why I struggled to chase after my dreams
And lost track of time 

I tried to envisage life big picture
Despite it took me so long to look
But it is difficult with times so hard
To accept I wear a heart that can withstand time

You may be right about me
But what if the tide turns towards you?
Would you accept life to be cruel
 If it feels like you have no purpose

Not enough to time to keep a commitment
Not enough time to be loved
Not enough time to correct your mistakes
And be judged out of context

A friend on the street
Sometimes maybe all that we need
When the going is getting turf
They remind us that life is not always bad

Even when we someone takes advantage
Of their trust and take it for a weakness
Do not let life get the best of you
If there is no one to answer your questions
