Life is Too Fast

The sun rises like a phoenix,

Shining light,

The dark clouds covering the bright phoenix,

The smell of the wet concrete,

On rainy days,

Filling our childhoods with joy

Now we just complain

As the phoenix descends,

Today will become a memory,

The phoenix will rise again,

But this time life won’t be the same

We’ll look back with regrets,

But we have to move forward

Enjoy every moment and every minute,

Life is short.
