Life - A Terrible Sweet Joke

Once upon, in the night,
Gazing at the stars and the sky,
Recalling all what happened,
Thinking about the past and the present,
Makes me really cry...
It's what called the life. 

I wish I could have its control,
What, when and how,
Then it wouldn't have made me lose,
What was in the life's spoon,
I want to be me -only me,
But to my surprise,
It's what my family denies.

Thanks to the thought of future,
Which gives me a last hope,
To be alive.
But it's when I realized,
That it was a terrible joke,
Played by my life.
I said Oh! What a sweet bitter life.

Losing all those precious friends and memories,
And remembering those days which never came back,
Literally made my heart sank.
I must say Life is really a terrible sweet joke which you can never regain.
