Impermanent Poem by meylen lau

Youthfulness,
Beauty,
They will sure pass.

Challenges,
Bitterness,
For sure one will face.

Happiness,
Sadness,
The norms of humans' lives.

Proud of the youthfulness and beauty,
Enjoy the happiness and assume everyone deserves them,
Suffer in bitterness and yell painfully, why me?

Don’t drown in the sea of sorrow,
While encounter with bitterness in horror,
Be calm and aware, there is no total happiness as everybody knows.

Don’t be over excited,
While successfully achieved and reaping the fruit of success,
Be aware, there is nothing could last forever.

Be strong,
With courage,
Life is just impermanent!
