As I Walk Through Life Alone

As I walk through life alone, I wonder
What you must be thinking about me, my LIFE...
That, am I trying to escape? 
Or to take you for granted.

Many tried these futile things
No one ever succeeded
All in the end repented 
As if they were mindless

To teach us many lessons
You try all different ways
We fail to grasp you wisdom
Even without our hardest trait

Those who lived, said at the end
Nothing was a bit more than a blinking eyelid
Happy moments flew away
Sorrow appeared, it crawled 

In the flashback we see our faults
Don't know how to react
Accept them as our mistakes
Or plead innocence and defend

Whatever be it, in the end
Only time will smile
It will leave us half the way
And quickly it will fly.
