Faded chances

Merylle Mae Peta

How much do you value your life?
How much do you care about the people
around you?
How much do you cherish the memories you
had with your family?
Maybe none of my questions matter to you
dearly,
Obviously, you dont value them, take em
for granted,
For you, life is full of chances.
You dont appreciate your mother waking
you up in bed,
Its 7:30 dear youre already late,
You told her to wake you up,
but when she did,
you got annoyed instead.
You dont notice your friend who smiles at
you
because youre not in the mood,
You become snobbish and its not so good.
Youre frustrated because of your grades,
You blame your teachers and you have
unending complaints,
But how come you never blame yourself?
You dont like hugs and kisses from your
little brother,
But its a sign of love, you need to
remember.
You always succeed to make tears fall from
his eyes,
Poor little child , havent spared him just a
couple of smiles.
You dont feel bad disrespecting your
parents,
Just for not allowing you last night to go out
with your friends.
youre a girl, danger happens in dim. Your
father said.
Theyre just protecting you after all.
But for you, it is a sign of control.
You are upset when a friend dont hang out
with you anymore.
Now you start hearing the aching sound of
the shutting doors.

You feel rejected, you cry because of

frustration,

But you never thought that its the upshot of

your actions.
Years passed.
You think how your little brother was so
annoying
He just wants to lighten your mood.
But you go on with your continuous yelling.
Now look, hes now a grown up child.
Feeling abandoned and neglected.
But, isnt it what youve always wanted?
Now you start to miss the things that he did?
Eventually,
Youll realize how bad you need something
when its gone.
You see their worth when they walked away
because of what youve done.
You start to appreciate someones love
When you start to feel dumped and unloved.
Sometimes,
Life will not give you many chances,
Indeed, chances easily fade.
Life is just short
Dont waste it by dumping the people who
cares about you.
They love and cherish you more than you do.
If they walked away, its because you taught
them how to.
You might say life is unfair,
But dont judge life.
Observe...
thats the dare.
Dont be so insensitive,
Appreciate the simple things they give.
Be grateful for whatever you receive.
In this world, everything happens for a
cause,
It gives lesson for us to know our own flaws.
