Life is Short by Tomi Fagade

So many things happen in life
Failures, Worries, and unhappiness
These can happen throughout our lifetime
But they cannot be the ones to hold me back

After much anger, pain, argument and fights I had
I decided to remain calm,
To the person I am today
Because I know that life is too short

To get angry
To be in pain
To get into an argument
To get into fights

I realised that most are meaningless
Because the one blocking my path to the very sun
To the very light
Is myself

The choice I make, will determine the things that happen
I cannot be the victim
I must not get knocked down and stay there
I must get up and keep moving forward
I must take the hit and keep moving forward
That is how winning is done
I cannot start pointing fingers just because I am not where I want to be because of somebody

We must love each other without any condition
Not expecting anything in return
Extending that kindness
This is what I learnt throughout my life

My life full of ups and downs
It has truly been a journey
A never ending journey that I will continue to learn
To learn to be a better person
And I hope I can be the person that is always happy to see people

After all, we are all human
Human to experience these
But remember, life is so short
