Now I Know (Classic Poem) (Local)

        Now I Know
                                                             Jose Paulo Tolentino 

                                               Seven months felt like seven years
                                                and now I face my greatest fears
                                                   Why before I could never wait
                                                but now I know the heavy weight.

                                                    In a strange world, a mad city,
                                                         it is tough to be an adult
                                                          you take responsibility
                                                     to bear frustration and insult  

                                                 There are days I would like to die
                                                       life is not pretty as it seem
                                                Leave this and what do I redeem?
                                                   many I have learned is just a lie

                                                 They say I should create a goal
                                                 Love and life is what you make it
                                                 but somehow it just could not fit
                                                       All I have is a hollow soul 

                                             From here I don't know where to go
                                                      Being an adult, now I know.
