Now i know

Now I Know By: Jose Paulo Tolentino Seven months felt like seven year And now I face my greatest fear Why before I could never wait but now I know the heavy weight. In a strange world, a mad city,  it is tough to be an adult you take responsibility   to bear frustration and insult There are days I would like to die life is not pretty as it seem Leave this and what do I redeem? Many I have learned is just a lie    they say I should create a goal  Love and life is what you make it but somehow it just could not fit all I have is a hollow soul From here I don’t know where to go being an adult, now I know.
