Often Times

Often times,
One do not realise what they have until it is gone
Only to start lamenting the aftermath and
To frown

Often times,
People do not know how we really feel
Unless they landed in the same situation,
As we do

Often times,
The land is still standing
Even though it has been devastated
& left being a ruin

Often times,
The tree still stands tall and sturdy
Despite having gone through, a torrent of rain
And thunder

Often times,
We wish we could just give it all up
And lead a happier and simpler life
But we can't

These are but
The trials and tribulations of life
