The first time I opened my eyes 
I cried and looked around 
With my parents’ love abound 
And I felt I’m in a world of lies 

They lulled me slowly to sleep 
Seeing dreams in the sleep so deep 
My parents smiled and cried 
A life-long bond they tied 

Mama, dada- the first words I said 
The first time I saw blood red 
Moments I knew my parents were there 
Just to show how much they care 

The first time I walked, I stumbled 
The first time I ran, I fumbled 
They were there every time I call 
To help me stand up tall 

I have lied and stole before 
Sins I realized when I was four 
I knew what’s good and bad when I was young 
Yet I still don’t what side I belong 

My ignorance subsided 
Good and bad divided 
Punishment I received 
For evil actions achieved 

I grew up like a felon 
Doing things under Satan’s talons 
I’ve been rebuked scornfully 
Yet loved exceptionally 

I’ve made friends to back me up 
Sometimes they make me feel like a pup 
I am confused about what they want 
But they always make me feel dominant 

As I grew, I realized life’s unfair 
So at times I cry out despair
I felt comfortable at home 
That moving I cannot condone 

When I moved to a foreign country 
I felt worthless and dainty 
Making friends was hard for me
Coz’ I’ve never reached my jubilee 

I’ve made choices I wasn’t proud 
Times I feel like dropping from a cloud 
Pressures exploding around me 
Making the light so hard to see 

I look above and see darkness 
Improving my own loneliness 
Trials of life I faced 
Flying time I gazed 

I stare as I have grown 
Fruits I’ve planted I have sown 
Now I’m living on my own 
Oh I wish I never grew 

Now that I am old 
I feel worn out and cold 
Many goals unfulfilled 
Places in my heart unfilled 

Every day I feel drained 
Of youthful energy sustained 
As I walk the valley of evil 
I have no power to fight the perils 

Many things I cannot remember 
The pain I feel is like ember 
My time of this world is low 
Oh I hope I’ll never go down below 

I feel weaker than before 
I wish I could have done more 
Now that my body’s very sore 
Death is now what I adore 

I think of heaven as paradise 
But Satan is planning its demise 
Now that I’m dying I review 
The faith in know in my point of view 

I thought of death as far away 
But it came to my dismay 
I lie in bed so arduously 
My eyes I close precariously 

As it slowly crept toward me 
I thought of deeds regretfully 
The world I viewed as lies 
Became truth when I time was suffice
