Sonnet 049



Sonnet 049
Laijon Liu 20160403

For this moment I’ve paid everything:
My bank savings from years of minimum wage
Many times meal skipped for tons of books
Career opportunities slipped, career injuries suffered
For this moment I’ve paid all my time and efforts:
My childish dream and lifetime hardship
Unspeakable guilt for the gambling choice I made
Good women I turned away and alone into night rain
Now for this very moment I’ve strived
To live and free and write this way, My Way
And this moment shows me hope, hardens me
Will also break me and set me free
Whole life is for a special moment
And that moment really worth it
