It Was Nice Meeting You All
There’s a turning point in life which
only happen once in a lifetime.
But I have to do it – for myself.
I need to fly, I need to recreate,
I need to search new horizons,
Till I’ll find happiness on my own.
But searching won’t be easy...
Bristles and spikes on my road
They'l throw bricks on my head
But I must learn how to move on.
I’m ready to wound myself,
Ready to taste all odds.
No matter how excruciating it is,
I still want to let my wounds bleed
because that’s what sacrifice is all about.
Tell me I’m selfish, tell me I’m an old fad.
This spirit is insatiable,
I foresee where this journey is going,
I'll be in my own dreamland.
There’s an expense that I have to choose,
Though it hurts to leave so soon,
I must not play the role of being confused.
It disheartens my soul to see tears on their eyes,
But this is not the end nor saying goodbye.
I am happy, I am grateful,
It was an extreme roller coaster ride.
It was nice meeting you all
See you around as I pass by.
My success is your contribution.
My glory is a new revolution.
My accomplishment is your reputation.
My triumph leads me to self-actualization.
But you know what?
I see rainbow after three years.
It’s a delayed gratification,
I will keep it for years.
