A glimpse of the past and the future.
Looking back. **Where to look back this time? What else to look back this time?** I am sitting in front of my laptop during rest hour in my office. It has been too busy lately and today I have a little bit of time to spare but I have no idea on what to write about. I once dream of become a writer live with the earning from online career so I, can spend more time at home. I will have a working hour that I want, not bound to any rules and free to do as I like. A freedom in working and earning. Perhaps that would be a less stressful job. I have like writing poetry and songs lyrics since primary school. I once write an anime kind of script, poetry and songs. I have lost a few of the song I wrote but I also have written a new one, a few of them. This time I post it to my You Tube channel so I would not lose it again. **Poetry** During secondary school(form 3) to be specific. A male friend give me a book of poetry before he got sick and then he passed away. We are not couple. We are just good friend. **songs and lyrics** A friend told me recently that I had become her inspiration to write songs since I last wrote a song for the school visit to a Mangrove Forest. I barely remember the songs now but she still do and now she have written her own song together with her siblings and join a competition at YouTube online. I am very happy for her and I am happy that I have been an inspiration to at least one person in this world. If you do not mind. Do give them a visit at YouTube Channel. Listen to the whole song, give a like and subscribe to the channel to help them win. The song is in Malay Language and I will help giving the translation here to help you understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZWc8dgLXwY&lc=Ugx_mC9U9ZRlSQ2Av5x4AaABAg.9M6ot7a8AtH9MAcUiq2OTW **Lyric translated with the help of google translator.** *****Color Your Life by Couspira Begons***** *When you thought that life is hard* *Ask yourself why is it so difficult?* *When you thought that life is hard* *Ask yourself why is it so difficult?* *Maybe you feel like someone else's life* *Are better than the one you have* *Maybe you thought as if it is unnecessary* *Like life has no meaning* *Trust me, everyone feels the same* *Squeezed in the joys and sorrows of life* *There must be something we really want* *But we can't afford to have it* *But if we are sad about this* *It will continue to steal away our happiness* *Let it all go dear friend let it go* *Just follow the flow to where it goes* *Look at what you have now* *Start coloring your life with it* *Learn to be grateful for all the sustenance* *No matter how small it is in your life* *You must find your smile in your wholeheartedly acceptance* *Which you probably never realized all this time* *That's what you need and you'll find it* *Your happiness in them* *When you accepted their lack* *If you accepted us as we are* *Let it all go dear friend let it go* *Just follow the flow to where it goes* *Look at what you have now* *Start coloring your life with it* *Let it all go dear friend let it go* *Just follow the flow to where it goes* *Look at what you have now* *Start coloring your life with it* *Learn to be grateful for all the sustenance* *No matter how small in your life* Looking forward. Nothing that I wish for since childhood has become a reality(This is not true). It might not as I imagine it to be but then I am now writing a blog and I earn a bit from it as an extra coverage for my income. I can write anything that I want with minimum set of rules. I still write songs for fun and I enjoy it. The only thing I want now is to have a happy life. I am done feeling miserable and tired of fulfilling others dreams. It is my new goal though I cannot totally remove my responsibilities form the goal. I am looking forward to a brand new beginning that have been given to me by all of my dears friend. I wish to keep on writing here and there so that they and myself will know my progression. I guess this will be a great story for my daughter read later so I would not be breathless telling her the story of my life.(Hahaha)

I had fun reading your work. If only I can make a melody for a song, I will definitely use those words of yours as lyrics. Poetry is what I like doing, too. And it made me happy knowing I have someone with the same interests with me. Thank you for sharing! I can relate so much with you, being someone who loves writing but has a really different job in reality. ☹️
Thank you. What I wrote is not poetry. If you read this again, you will notice that it is the lyrics of the songs that I help to translate into English for the reader to be able to understand. It is already a song but it is not mine. If only we can be an author that earns from their books.
Omy, I may have missed the part where you said that it's a translation. I got a lil too excited about the words Italicized. I had to read the whole article again. Thanks for letting me know. 🤗
No problem. I hope you enjoyed their songs. It is an original. It is in the Malay language though, That is why I put the translated version in this article.
