This Life

This life:

Adrift on the waves of my ambitions;

aspiring to succeed, to be wealthy , to be popular.

I brave the storms' onslaught and faced

all turmoils, pain and misery.


This life:

At last, I am here at the banks of success,

my cup is overflowing, my name emblazoned.

I 'm drunk with fame and fortune,

all the transient things within my reach.


This life:

It's coming to its twilight stage,

the luster is dwindling, the echoes

of applause disappearing in the distance.


This life :

It's meaningless, I realized,

lived for myself, it's nothing.

Lived for others, it's something.


This life...
