I've taken up a decision for a walk,
A chance for me to discover things in my life.
The people around... what they do, and how they talk.
How they behave... but also how they lie... to me.

I've seen a butcher slaughtering a pig,
I've seen beggars begging for money in the streets,
I've seen a man in rags driving a truck vigorously,
I've seen people being greedy for things,
I've heard drunken people scolding me for no reasons.

Is this society too uncivilized to live in?
Why do people have to live
in the shadows
of masquerades?

I've finally opened my eyes,
From the vision full of fantasy.
I've finally realized that life
in the society I live in
has never been easy...
Now,
I can clearly see why people are struggling.
For money,
for Hope,
for Life...

Days after days...
Weeks after weeks...
Months after months...
and Years after years
of work.
How long must people suffer
in order to find
eternal happiness
in their lives?

I can feel people are being separated
in the gap full of distances,
I can also feel everyone is standing out to
bring a purpose in their lives.
Will I ever find a person who I can trust?
Whom I name him "friend"?

I feel everything has never be the same,
By the time flooded with shadows of the past.
I know I'm going through a whole new path,
So much different compared
to my previous teenage years...
Is this what we call "transitional period to adulthood"?

I don't know how long I will have to walk,
I don't even know where I'm walking to.
So much diversions in the ends of every single road,
But why can't I choose two?
