POEMS/Yesterday...  


YESTERDAY
May 3, 2002

So here I lie in bed
Staying in line with a moment
As I watch time count my days
And I see my life pass me by

Emotions slyly seep within me
I wonder why I'm feeling this way
As I try to look back on old times
And I marvel how much has passed

Can we turn back time's hands?
Do we yearn the old moments now?
Are you missing it, too?
The easy carefree days we had
We've taken everything for granted

I think I'm crying inside me
Yesteryears behind us
Memories all we can take
No more space to turn back

Can we see our future shining?
Do we yearn something else?
Are you tired of looking for destiny
Wondering when you'll meet her
Finally make sense of our so-called life

In the end of the line someday
Will we ever pass each other by?
Will your recognize me with yesterday?
And then maybe, just maybe
We'll relive the life we'll never have again...


insight If you'll read between the lines, you'll notice that this is more than me being sentimental. Although I was being sentimental. Sometimes little things remind me of the past. Or maybe, I was just feeling sorry for myself. There are times when I just feel so out of place at the workplace. And though I laugh with them, I feel alone. But then again, maybe I was just struck with a bad case of post-graduation-of-Gen-X. You know, the usual feeling of restlessness, of discontentment, of being unfulfilled... where you accept the first job offered to you. But then again, this isn't the first job that came my way. Out of stupidity, I blew three jobs that could have made me happier. Could have. I'm making the best out of this and I am doing and giving my best at work.
