My Heartbeat

I forget that
Life is a game of Heart.
When I was a child,
I heard my heartbeat,
When I ran a race,
When I worked hard
I listened it clearly.
As long as I grow up,
And had a job in an office,
And used my brain to calculate,
Figures everyday, everywhere,
And lost my living sense.
I was feeling dull,
Life was boring,
What is a job of clerk or secretary?
Dictations, only letters,
Waiting for answers
Or having a respond,
When I have my first heart attack,
I found it, I still have my heart.
Otherwise I lost,
A sense of living,
Money can’t bring my childhood back,
I want to live,
Greediness is not a life.
