Lesson of Life #1

by Joanne, age 17, from Malaysia

Close your eyes from the lies,
Don't see the evil,
Just shut your eyes,
Turn away from the world.
Escape from reality,
Numb yourself from the pain,
Live in fantasy,
But it is all in vain.
Blind you eyes,you'll still see,
Turn deaf ears,you'll still hear,
You can never escape so easily,
You will always live in fear.
A journey of youth,
Seeking without finding,
Bitterness in truth,
Peace only from within.
No more ignorance...
Just lost innocence.
