CHALLENGE

It’s been over a decade
Since you last have graduated
Your diploma was almost torn
Still don’t know which way to turn

Your face has more lines
It never feels “just fine”
Like running out of time
Yet never had the prime

Trying this and tried on that,
Which of which and how is what
Break of the dawn, flip of a calendar
Another day, another year, what have you gotten so far?

Doesn’t really matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done
Leave the past behind, all the things that all have gone
Live for this day as you learn from your mistakes
Make the most of it, whatever it may take

Misleading ambitions
Prodded with premonitions
Dreams you wished, answers to seek
On any tree can never be picked

The triumph you aspired
On a piece of paper you may acquire
Though you’ve lost most of your hair,
The world you’re on will still be unfair

Listen to your heart
It will tell you what you want
If you follow as it says
You will have the brightest day

Doesn’t really matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done
Leave the past behind, all the things that all have gone
Live for this day as you learn from your mistakes
Make the most of it, whatever it may take

How about this for your challenge?
