Welcome My Tomorrow - Visitor's Poem

by Mer Sasmiro
(Indonesia)

Most of my time...
I was wondering why...
why this and why that...

Most of my time...
I've been asking ...
If only this and if only that...

Most of my time...
I went here and there...
looking for something actually uncertain...

and today...
I'm coming back to myself
knocking at my own door...
wishing I could open the door
that I've unconsciously locked for long...
the door that I've closed because I was hiding in it...
because I was not open to reality...
because I was lost in confidence...
that my happiness will come back to me...

learning that life is like riding a roller coaster...
the today me...
I've learnt to accept that I could be up...
I also need to go down...to be up there again...
the world is spinning around...
by accepting that life is never an easy road to walk through...
I've learnt my best to cherish what life has offered me...
with all the sweets, bitterness to spice it all up...

the world is still living 24/7
no matter how gloomy a day will be...
there will always the sun comes to shine...

Welcome tomorrow....for I have embraced my yesterday....
