Finalist in the 'Pieces of Paradise 2010/2011' competition

A man with courage, but living life carrying his fears,
Like life is full of happiness, if it wasn't mixed with tears,
Into my reflection, trying not to be mad at me,
Turns I made on the road that were forced into tragedy,


Is it really a cruel world that we're living in?
Questions of life with no conclusion,
But we can't say anything, we're only just visiting,
Living reality but everything seems like an illusion,


Too many disasters, but forgetting the past,
But if life were to move faster, there would be nothing to grasp
So in future, I hope to wish for more laughter,
To everyone in this world and the generations after.
