Remember the first day?

When it was very hard practicing and training,

as it was very hard truly in the first swing

the first warm-up, or the first stretch, the first exercise

of your muscles, in your chosen sport?

When you’re the foreign around in your new classroom,

no one knows you, no words that must be spitted

on your mouth when befriending,

and it was a shy and shameful thing to be known,

where you believe quietude was the solution?

When all things and stuffs in the new-fangled workplace,

and they force you to be familiar with them,

so that you can move and work,

yet all that you did was catastrophe, disaster at first

then after the debacles you strive to know?

When your first day will be the last,

like a one-time performance, when pressure made you fast

when tense and nervous seconds tick and mark off

that maybe your instrument will fail a note

or you didn’t keep up with the sway of your troupe?

We always witness the first day,

The first day or like Friday the 13th

You will not identify whether luck or misfortune

But memorize, recognize always,

That first day is not the only day that we will witness

As first has second, third, fourth and so on
