A Short Memoir from a Glass Box

I have live my whole life locked inside a glass box.
It's crystal clear, I can see the world goes on around me.
But I was never been a part of it.
I was just an observer of life, an outsider, an outcast.
Somehow a curse has been cast upon me to always be the audience and never the player.
When sadness overwhelms me, there's no one to turn to, no one to comfort me.
I am forced to make myself strong enough to hold the tears from drowning me in my own sorrow.
But that is just a small price to pay.
The biggest storm comes whenever I am happy.
I glowing, I'm all smile...but no one to share it with.
I take a look around...people see me, people notice me, but they don't seem to care.
I spent forever desperately wanting to be a part of them.
To feel what they feel, do what they do.
But it's a mere wishful thinking so far.
I've tried to free myself,
but it's impossible to break the glass without hurting myself.
I made it once, with unbearable pain to endure.
But the crowds of joy pushed me away and left me to hurt alone yet again.
They leave whenever I try to get close.
So there I was...hurting, crying, alone and lonely.
My cry for help and my sorry sight is nothing to them...nothing whatsoever.
I'm scared, terrified that I am doomed to live my life this way forever.
...
...
Should it ends here?
...

A Broken Image


Who is it I'm staring at?
Me...?
Myself...?
or just a vivid vision of something that is really never there....

What is it I'd become?
A woman...?
A daughter...?
or just a mere joke in a Sunday standup session

Why can't I recognize me???

Wishes....

Wish love could see...the suffering of my tortured heart

Wish love could hear...the scream of despair going through holes of my heart

Wish love could wipe...the tears and blood flowing out of open wounds in my heart

Wish love could understand...after all that, what I feel is and always be the same...


UpsideDown Relationship

I used to like this guy...Well, maybe I still have feelings for him somewhere. He was somewhat funny and nice, I guess. I don't know what drove me to like him in the first place, but I just did. He is this unique type of guy, a one of a kind (which I now realize that it's not unique nor one of a kind, but it's WEIRD). He makes me laugh a lot. He amazes me with his addiction of drama movies. He attracts me with his drawing skill. He was just so out of the ordinary for me, but I like it. Slowly but sure I started to built some hope on him, that he may be the one to take away the sorrow I felt at that time. The weird thing is, once I built my hopes on him, I started to feel everything was slipping away. Every friendship I've built with him started to fall apart. I wondered why, until came a day where I learn the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The shadow of the past has been strangling him ever since his loved one flew away and was nowhere to be found. It has crushed him so tragically that apparently he finds it hard to get out of the evil pit. I was ready to give my hand to help him, but then I realized that I'm his NOBODY.I don't own a place inside his heart. Why should I do it? He might just run away to see me do so. And so, to see that the guy that I have a crush with still holds a love of the past, I decided to let go and move on. Strangely, my relationship with him has been getting a lot better. I'm a lot more comfortable being with him now, than I was when I still had hopes for him. What is this?? A curse of love?? I don't have a clue. However, I'm trying to enjoy this relationship I have with him now, and forbid myself from building my hopes on him again. It's weird, but it is as it is. It's just another UpsideDown Relationship.

-It's over but we're still here...aren't we?-

A.L.O.N.E

I arrive at a party
The music is loud
But no one around
I end up alone...

I'm in a crowd
Try to share my happiness
But no one listens
I end up alone...

I feel sad
Tears falling from my eyes
But no one to turn to
I end up alone...

I fall in love
I give my all
But no one loves me back
I end up alone...


Silent Tears


"I don't like him that much to cry over him!"
For the thousand times she said it to herself and to her best friends.
"Don't deceive your own heart! You know that's not true!"
One of her best friends shouts the words at her.
"Stop saying that. I'm fine!"
The truth is...she is hurting to the bone. She refuses to tell her best friends the truth about what she is feeling. Not even once a soul sees her in tears, and she wants to keep it that way.

The story goes back to the previous month, when she was devastated as her love story ended violently. She cried her tears out for days...even nearly spilled it out in front of her best friends. She was sure that it's going to take years to heal the pretty much broken heart of her.
She lost all hopes to find a new love, when unexpectedly a soul grabbed her heart...a figure she never thought can fill her days with smile again.
"It's so unusual of me to be like this. I fall unexpectedly. I've never been able to get up from a broken heart this fast before. It's a miracle. HE is a miracle."
With a face full of smile, she told her best friends about what has happen to her.
"We're happy to see you happy again."
The sincere expression of happiness was said by her best friends. Indeed, they were happy to see her smile again.
She was enjoying every second of his presence. But something dark sat in the far corner of her heart...something waiting to spill tragedy over her love...something evil called broken heart.

"Why can't he forget her? Why won't he leave all of her memory behind? Why won't he open his heart for me?"
Those questions were revolving around her head the night after she heard about the secret of his heart. She could not seem to forget what one of her best friends told her. He is still holding on tight to the lost love that crushed him years ago. He is still waiting for her, waiting for a resolution over his troubled heart.
"Oh...I guess I'm going to have to put this all to an end."
That's the only thing she can think of as an answer when her best friends confronted her with the matter.
"You can make him forget about her. You can make him throw away the memory by starting a whole new story with him."
But she knew it was impossible. She knew that her love had once again let her down.
"It's OK. I don't like him that much anyway."
Thousands of lies spill out of her lips. Lies she created to cover up the pain that was starting to overwhelm her.

Now, days after what had happened, she is still crying over him at certain times. She is still wishing that if only she'd known him way before he met the girl he can't let go of. She is still gazing at his pictures. She is still thinking of him...And the biggest secret that she has been keeping from her best friends is that until this very second, she is still very much in love with him...

-I will always be something you fail to understand. Someone who waits for you, somewhere behind the memory you have no intention of forgetting-
 

A Day of Shattered Love

It is a day she will never forget. It happens just hours after her big decision, a decision of her to try and stop the flowing of love.A love she desperately start to erase has put one last painful blow.
It's not just words nor captures. It's a real life moving images of a beauty...of someone he affectionately call Angel.
Yes, an Angel. An Angel in his eyes. Words flow of her, that from the day she left him crushed until this very second, she has always been the love of his life. He never try to throw it away or turn to another heart.
Despair...pictures clear the feeling surrounds her at this very moment.Her heart that's already been wounded by his words can no longer bear the pain. She cries a silent tears, hoping that not him nor anybody there can catch the sight of her sorrow.
This is the end of a hopeful dream she has been building carefully since the day she opened her heart for him. This is the end of the buds of love that whither before it even blooms into a beautiful feeling. This is the end of her....

Lovelorn

It was just over a week after I realize I started to fall for you. I was enjoying the butterfly of falling in love, when a thoughtful friend opened my eyes on something. A secret that you have been trying to bear for quite some time.

"He still carries the wound of an old shattered love"

I started to wonder...what face of beauty that has been revolving around your life, even after it left traces of heartache?

"It was Shaz,the girl who left him and cause him his misery."

Shaz...What is it about this beauty that made you so reluctant to throw the memory no matter how hurt it crushed you?

I built hope that I may be the one to wash away the pain, to make you smile again, when I heard loud and clear from your own lips...

"I still have hopes that we can get back together again."

The earth shaken terribly under my feet. I touched my chest to feel the rush of pain that suddenly chocked me.It was that serious...no matter how hard I try,nothing is going to change what you feel.

Now, I give up. I am a coward for not having the courage to compete against mere memory, but this is what I have decide. Forgive me, my heart, for letting go the love that I think I have start to feel.

As for you, I'm just a lovelorn. Something that you will always fail to understand....

Dear Diary,
That's it! It's over! I don't have any chance to be with him. Today, at the parking lot, he specifically told me "I'm happy to have a best friend like you. I can tell you everything." My heart stopped right after he get to the best friend part. Then, without paying any attention to my reaction, he told me about this girl he's been seeing...the one I saw flirting with him at the trip!!!
Diary, you cannot imagine how shattered my heart is right now. To hear directly from the man I love that he is in love with some other girl. To feel that the love inside slowly and painfully slip from my grip. This is NOT how I plan this love would be. This is NOT what I've been dreaming about.How could you do this to me??? I LOVE YOU!!! Isn't that enough???

Dear Diary,
Red alert!!! I don't know if it's just plain jealousy or it's the reality. I saw him with her again, he was somehow acting quite different when he's with her. Oh no! Could it be? Did I miss it all this time? It makes me so sad...But later in the day, he gave me this cool poster of the band I like, he said that he knew I wanted it. So, I'm just being paranoid after all. He's soooo nice! I LOVE YOU!

Dear diary,
I can't get my mind off of him! But, luckily, today our school held an outing. We went for an out-bond. Yaaay!!! I got zillion of chance to be close to him. We were in the same team at paintball game. He helped me and gave me the courage to try the flying fox. We had lunch together, talked to each other, gazed at one another. Wooow...it was beautiful! One thing that bothers me though, he seems to have a kind of special friendship with one of our classmates. I saw them giggling alone a couple of times. Could it be...? Ah, just my imagination. It was just him being a nice guy he always been. I can't help but write this so many times...I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Dear Diary,
Finally I had some time alone with him. My heart was pounding very fast, I couldn't control it. He gave me a ride home coz he was going somewhere near my neighborhood. It's meant to be, right? He doesn't normally do this, offering to take me home, I mean. So...my heart kept saying 'Should I tell him? Should I confess?' I was blessed with the chance to be with him alone, faith gave me a way to just spill it all out in the open. My heart said 'Here it goes'........Shoot! I didn't have the guts to say it. Oh well, I can always put it here...I LOVE YOU!

Dear Diary,
Ugh...I can't stop this heart from beating faster when I'm with him. I've tried so hard to act normal in front of him, but I guess it didn't work. I don't know if he notice it though. What should I do? A girl can't make a move before a guy does, right? Should I just wait and see how it goes? Or should I at least give him a sign to let him know that I have feelings for him? Hm...tricky choice.
Well, whichever I chose, I must be careful not to cause pain to my own heart. I can't afford to get hurt again...the hell with it! I LOVE YOU!

Dear diary,
I never expected this to happen, but I realize that this is true. I'm in love! I don't know what is it about him that has made me falling in love with him, but I'm sure that this love is the real deal. I guess I never really know him until now. I found so many things about him that has put me in awe. He's someone I can picture spending the rest of my life with, of that I'm sure. I'm a little scared though. I've been hurt and deceived too many times. There's no guarantee that it won't happen again this time. I don't want to hurt again, but I can't stop myself from having this feeling for him. I LOVE YOU!

Bitter...End

Broken...shattered...she walked the road of sorrow....
It happened again!!!
It's excruciating!!!
Tears...was the only sign of deep despair that shown on her...
No other...she fell numb....
"Now alone...always have been...always will be..."
There goes her last hope of savior.
There goes her last drop of life.
"Never again...Never again..."
She was broken....
She was hurt....
She was defeated....
She was no more....
Yes, she was....
Yes, I know....
That girl was me

Bitter...part 4

With strong grip of agony still pressing her heart, the girl had to face another day. Just another ordinary day, one may say, but not for her.
She was forced to look upon a silhouette that had presented her with painful markings all over the heart.The silhouette that had been giving her countless of sleeplessness.

But this one day is different....This one day is the climax of it all.

It felt like a never-ending terror of nightmares when the reality is laid upon her.
"...it's one spark of light that has given colors to every corner of my darkest heart. One radiant figure that I call my own."
Suffocated, the girl could only stare to one point of emptiness. From that second, nothing is real before her. Nothing....For what she thought as a dash of hope had violently been torn apart.
She was hurt...
She was broken...
She was defeated...
Yes, she was...
Yes, I know....

Bitter...part 3

She was then silently sobbing....
"What am I to do?" Her heart screamed for answer.
"No doubt, it may come to an end of everything if I ever dare to reveal...oh...What to do?" Her sobbing did not seem to ceased.
Visions passed by in her thought. Visions of a grey silhouette. A grey silhouette that never seem to leave her alone, causing deep agony.

Bitter...part 2

She sat in front of a similar flat illuminating square hours after what had happened.
A blue sheet spread in front of her...with all mixed up feeling she had, she put it all into words...things that she has been keeping so tight, things that not a soul would ever believe as the truth.
How she wrote...how she tried to ease it all with words...how she shed a tear against her will...
She's in bitter....
Yes, she was...
Yes, I know....

Bitter...part 1

The girl stared at a grey silhouette in front of her...For months it has suffocate her lungs with breath of sweet and dear feeling. She saw his eyes throw a glance at her, just for a split second, and stared back to a flat illuminating square out front. How she long for those eyes to meet hers just a little while longer. But bitter seemed to be at her side, for what's in her heart never meet reality.
She then slowly retreat and walk away....

IGNORANTS!!!!

What's ignorant???
resulting from lack of knowledge:
caused by a lack of knowledge, understanding, or experience
Microsoft® Encarta® 2006. © 1993-2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Never thought that such person exist, until I come across several person that, when I get to know them, ignorant is what immediately came to mind.
How could a person be able to cope with their life? For every single thing they do only causes everyone's lost.
How can they ever live a peaceful life? For what they do only causes people to suffer?
Demanding one's obligation is legitimate, but only as long as the rights are also being the main consideration. If that's not what goes on, then do not put a blame on one's thought that they are being treated unfair.
Hatred may be too harsh. But hatred is the only thing ignorant people will get.
For YOU who we think are ignorant , sooner or later, you'll be the object of everyone's hatred and anger....

Dangerous Temptation

It is as if something has going on, something oddly familiar....
I hate the way he looks at me, with wide eyes, scanning every inch of me
I get shivers over his mysterious smile, the way he fix his eyes on me and pull his lips into this smile full of hidden agenda
I get goosebumps everytime he touches me, light at first, then a pinch of squeeze afterward
I startled over his comments, inevitably mentioning my name at every rendezvous

But shockingly, there is a place for him in my mind, in my daydreams and my fantasies
A figure more than perfect that haunted me like a weird but pleasant aftertaste

No, I'm not allowing anything to happen. For you are one dangerous temptation I must stay away from...although most of the times, it's dangerously pleasant ^_^

Fill In the Blank!

Sometimes it's fun being me. When I make people laugh, when I make people happy. They will say things like: "oh, you're so funny.", "you're cute.".
Sometimes it's nice being me. When I can comfort people, make them feel better whenever they're sad, or giving advices whenever they feel troubled. They will say things like: "thanks for hearing me out.", "Thanks for cheering me up.", or "you're absolutely right, I feel better now.".

However, there are times when I feel that people are avoiding me, ignoring me, and closed the door at my request for help. I'm angry, I'm upset. I never do those things to them, why are they shutting me off??? After all the things I've done...

no, no, no......I immediately feel guilty. Does that mean that I don't do what I do from the heart? Does that mean that I'm just being kind to ask things in return? Am I such a bad person?

A friend once told me, that I'm always being 'too nice' to people and that I 'care too much' for other people. Is it wrong???

And if I really do what I do with hopes that people will also be nice to me, is it bad???

Life oh life, how come you provide my life with so many blanks to fill? yet so little answer to write?
 

Thank You!

Everytime I feel happy, fortune comes my way, your face is what comes first in mind.
Everytime I'm sad, broken in despair, your smile is what I think of that soothes my soul.
I fall and I fall again, not even once you judge.
I reach and I achieve, you said you're happy for me and you're proud of me.
It makes my heart ache, knowing that until today I never really give you anything. but you, the most saint-like figure I can think of, never complains.
After every single remarkable things you have done to me, every single fight you have fought for me, and every single smile you give to me, not even once you ask for something in return.
I realize that most of the time, I may seem ungrateful. I may seem ignorant, and I may not seem to care.
But have my word on this, my love for you exist in me until the tiniest molecule I can possibly have. My gratitude for you exceeds beyond life itself. And the life I have live until this very day, I owe it all to you.
There's no way I can thank you enough.

I am proud that I was born as your daughter and that I am given the privilege to call you Mom.

-I love you Mom ♥-


E.M.P.T.Y

As I read words after words of romance,
I choked....
I feel nothing like the being-single-but-happy-who-turned-out-to-have-her-man-anyway-chick in the book I've been reading.

Reminiscing my own story, it's been quite a while since the last time I became the main character of a romance. Actually, it has been years....
People say that I may be too picky...People say that I haven't been opening my heart to welcome a new prince charming...People say that I've been drowning too much in sadness and sorrow of a previous lost...Well, I say I just haven't found one that I can give my heart to.
Sometimes I winced thinking about this. How many of my friends seems to find their soulmate so effortless.
Aren't they scared that they might make the wrong choice? Are they really sure that they want to spend the rest of their life together?
That's the questions and considerations that I speak out loud. The truth is, all I am wondering is that "how can you be sure that the person you are with right now is the one? how do you know it's real? what kind of feelings do you feel? how and when did you find him???"

Bla...bla...bla...that's what I say when people keep asking where's my man and when will I join their precious "I'm Married" club. I may look like I don't really care, but actually I do...more than anyone would ever know.
I'm scared...I'm terrified...not only because right now I'm alone and I'm lonely...but also because I feel empty and numb...No boyfriends, No crushes, NOTHING!

Giving Up

Standing in the middle of a massive storm. Desperately trying to hold on. Spirit, courage, strong will, try its best to support, but what more can I do, when my body slowly giving up.
"It's YOU! Not your body that's giving up."
Is that so? Can your mind really determine your body's well being? Maybe it can... but in certain cases, it's helpless.
Thinking...making considerations...searching for decisions.... Nothing comes my way.
If it is what it is...what more should I say?
Giving up becomes the only option.

Unconditional Love?

Is there such thing as unconditional love?
--
--
You know that you love him so much. You feel that he loves and cares about you like no other does. 
--
Everyone around you has been telling you the same thing over and over again....
"He's treating you badly!!! Why are you still with him? Why do you keep coming back to him? WHY DO YOU STILL LOVE HIM???"
And... no words come out of your lips... not an excuse, nor a denial.
--
Is yours an unconditional love? 
--
Or are you just being a fool? An ignorant?
A scared and helpless creature? Insecure? Do you feel worthless without him?
--
Are you afraid that you might not find other love? 
--
--
If someone come to you and offer you a better love, a better relationship, promise to treat you right... will you let go of him and take the offer?
--
--
Love doesn't make you hurt. Love doesn't treat you bad. Love doesn't make you cry.
--
An unconditional love is when someone loves you as much as you love him....

Am I Not _____ Enough?

Questions...
1. Am I not good enough?
2. Am I not nice enough?
3. Am I not smart enough?
4. Am I not pretty enough?
5. Am I not attractive enough?
6. Am I not caring enough?
7. Am I not lovable enough?

Please answer the questions as honest as you can. Coz I'm too tired to find the answers myself. 

Night after night of crying and exposing my sadness and being as vulnerable as ever, it all comes down to these seven questions. 

Falling in and out of love so many times...
Being the one that's left behind again and again...
Feeling unbearable pain in my lonely times...
Crying over useless things time and time again...

What is so wrong with me???
Nothing works out when it comes to my dream of a happily ever after... nothing....
I got wounded so many times, it starts getting numb...
and I'm starting to get scared....

Will I ever...?
Will I ever...?
 
 

CONFUSION

You came out of nowhere...
Force yourself into my life
I was caught off guard
Wondering what it is to it

Denial overcomes as I realize that you're still here
Showing yourself every now and then
Flashing alert signs that you're still here

Each and every day I spent since
You're here with me too
Getting closer,then suddenly pull away
Showed me you care,then suddenly couldn't care less
Showing me sparks of love,then suddenly pushes me away

I don't understand
What is your intention?
Is there really something or am I just imagining
Tell the truth!
I need to know!
Show me some light to walk out of this tunnel of confusion

Men...an interesting species, always stand inside the grey line...so very difficult to understand.
Men can somehow look very interested in you...always want to keep in touch with you, always want to know how you're doing, what you're doing...even call you with sweet names....
However...
There are times...in between those mentioned...when they seem so ignorant, couldn't care less about you, don't return your messages or take ages to reply it.
When you decided that you've had enough, that you're pretty sure he's just not that into you...guess what? Yup..he's back, with all his charms, attentions and sweet talks.
The weird thing is, you will fall for him all over again...your heart melts away at his first offer of romance..
Men loves strategy games when it comes to women. They draw blue print plans on finding the right way to a woman's heart...avoiding every traps and dead ends that women often set to protect their precious heart from harm... The women think that they knew how to handle the men...but, boy they don't know what's hitting them...
Men...
With various packages and qualities is a species that can trap you in their own sticky spider webs, causing so much trouble more than giving pleasure....


Men....
Oh, the hell with it... Men need women and vice versa... So stop complaining and comparing!!
Nuff said.

Walk Out the Door!!!

wow..wow..wow...
That's basically all I can say. I knew  that I had it coming...but I guess I was in some kind of denial. Should've listen carefully to that little voice inside my head that says "something's fishy about him". And something was...
For the first time in my life, I met a really out of this world guy, shameless and ego-centric. Yes, I curse, whatever...
I mean, come on... How could someone have this relationship with me and one day, out of the blue, just blurt out about somebody else. How did he think it makes me feel? Shameless? Yes, for thinking that it is totally ok with me to be his love counselor, and said "I hope you're ok with it."
Oh, puhleaseeeee....
Now I know that when it comes to you, nuff said.

Well, next time, I'll sure be extra, extra careful. Coz a man is not only capable of breaking my heart, but also crushing my beliefs, apparently.
Be gone you evil creature! Make way for someone better to come along!

Life Degradation

It was what people say as my time of glory. A fancy position at an international company (at least it sounds fancy), business trips abroad, luxurious hotel meetings, socialite events and important people encounters. Sure, those sounds impressive. But peel the layer off one by one, and you'll find the inconvenient truth. I was just a low-level employee. Lousy pay check, surprisingly small incentives, crazy hours, incredibly demanding company, and ego-centric boss. The job had literally take away my 'fun' in life, my comfort, my family time, my social life, my dignity, and, most of all, my life. I tried to survive and stand tall, for almost two years I weep in silence, suffering inside. No one would listen, no one to turn to.
One day, I've had enough and decided to break free. That's when the whole world suddenly go against me. They refuse to understand, even to listen, the reason behind my decision. They point a finger at me and throw accusations too painful to mention. It has destroy me, what they did. I hit rock bottom, and hit it hard. My self-esteem leave me out cold. I take a huge step backward in life, heading towards a life degradation. I lost my spirit to fight, to get out of this hole of despair. I let my sorrow hold me tight, the chain of wreck wrapped tight around me. I'm clueless and helpless...and becoming useless. People have no mercy, keep judging and stabbing at what's left of my pride with sharp painful words.
I'm lost..I'm alone..
I just can't take it anymore....

7 Is a Lucky Number!!!


The clock stroked midnight. Suddenly... I'm 27?! Wow, I hadn't even gripped the idea of being 26, now here I am, one year later. That midnight, I took some time to think back what I have done and what I have been through at 26. I couldn't say it's been easy... Roller coaster ride? Yeah, maybe you can call it like that. Events that drained me emotionally, love come and love go, friends gain and friends lost... too many to mention. Then I thought back about how I went through it all. I stood tall most of the time, but I also was hit pretty hard that I crumbled to pieces. But I'm proud of myself, coz after everything that hit me, here I am, still going strong. I cast a silent pray to God, to give me strength to make my life better and happier, and everything that I dreamed of may finally come true. I also cast a silent promise to myself, that I will be a better person, a better woman, a better daughter, and a better friend.
Well, happy birthday to me. 7 is a lucky number, and I'm gonna get lucky \(´▽`)/

DARK

When you look at yourself in the mirror, you can see right through you. You can see what's deep inside your soul reflected there. But what if you don't like what you see? You look at your reflection in disgust, thinking maybe this is what people see when they look at me and decided that 'this girl's no good'. Hate to admit, but it may be true. Sad...sad reality. When you know that people can see what you see and hate it the way you hate it. Wondering why people can even stand to be anywhere near you and why they even want to know you. Then you start questioning, 'why am I even here at all?'

Not Good Enough

I thought I have made you proud. I thought my effort has paid off. I rise, I fall, I rise again, it's all for you. I've been trying to live my life well, all for you. I've been through hurricanes of life, yes, I have. I never told you my problems, my heartaches, my broken dreams, or about the days I spent in my room, silently crying. It would only be a burden, something unnecessary for you to think about, since your mind is already full of things.
I admit that I fell so hard the last time, I never got the chance to fully recover yet. But I didn't stand still. I didn't just sit, whining and complaining, mourning. I fight back. I give my all to get up again, inch by inch. It hurts when no one seem to understand my struggle in life. I've tried and I'm still trying... But why are you looking at me as if my life is over? As if I have given up on life and refuse to get to my old self? I am fully responsible with my own life, and I'm handling that responsibility the best I can do.
Support... that's all I need. Can't you see? It's killing me! Your rejection, your anger... all towards the things I'm fighting for.
I may look like I'm alright on my own. An ignorant to the outside world. But I need someone to support me. I need someone to tell me that I'm doing the right thing. I need someone to tell me that everything is going to be alright.
Nothing in my life is easy. I used to think you know me well, but now, somehow, I doubt that. You want me to make you happy and I want that as much as you do. But how? No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to reach the goal. It gets harder and harder to do.
I need to make you happy. I must! But I want my own happiness too. If I can reach for it, how could I possibly survive? Isn't my happiness matters to you too? Is it?
All I'm feeling now is that I'm not good enough. Nothing I've done is good enough. Nothing....

What's A Dream?

What's in a dream? People said it's just that, a dream. It's all in our mind, none of it really happens. Others said that it's just a recollection of what we've been through, places we've visited, people we've met.
To me, a dream is a mystery. Something that no one will ever know and understand exactly what it is, how it's done, or what effect it has to our life. A dream can be a solution to the problems we have... It can be a vision of what we've done and who we'll become... Or it can be a sign of something that's about to happen...
A mystery indeed....

One night, I had this dream. I was standing at the side of a road. It was all peaceful. Until suddenly... A silver car, high speed and all, crashed into a coming train. I screamed my heart out, in fear...and desperately seeking help. I see one dead body of a man, blood covers the still image...
Then...I was back in my living room, holding a newspaper with bold headline that says 'A Football Player Killed In A Tragic Suicide Crash'. Tears run down my face...I was awake..out of breath and in the verge of tears.
'Weird,' I said. Then I choose to forget and start my day, getting ready to work.
A couple of hours later, in my office...
I sat on my desk, turn on the computer and automatically open the news website. Something made my heart skipped, my expression froze... It was a headline in the sport section. A headline I know for sure that I've seen before. It said...
'A Football Player Killed In A Tragic Suicide Crash'
Mystery? You tell me!

REGRET

Regret comes to haunt me. I backed down from it, not having the courage to start, to even try. Regret comes to haunt me. Questions asked: 'What may happen if I take the chance?' 'What could possibly go wrong if I didn't freaked out?' 'What would've happen?'... On and on and on it goes, unanswered. It's a cowardly act, yes, I am well aware of that. Forcing myself to take the chance, coz I'll never knew if I never try, then freaking out on the very last second... And then, the only time I ever did it, it crumbled, fell apart, shattered. I start going back to where I started, full of doubts, fear, and forever second-guessing myself, my point of view, my opinion, and my choices. Life is complicated, but it's not supposed to be this difficult... Or is it?
Regret comes to haunt me. When I finally did what I did on an impulse. And look where it took me....

Contradictive!

"Grow up!" They said when they see me doing childish stuff. I only want to have fun once in a while
"Grown ups make their own decision!" They said when doubt my decision-making ability. I only ask for their opinion.
"What were you thinking?" They said when I make the wrong choice. I'm only human, I make mistakes.

Being human is complicated. People demand you to be an adult, make your own decision, go through your own life. But whenever you try to do so, the very same people scolded you, saying you're incapable of anything, calling you names that hurts. This is what I never come to understand. When you're being a grown up, they say you're still a kid. When you make childish mistakes, they say that you're an adult and should act like one.
What should I do then? Which kind of person should I be?

Nightmare!

She wakes up from a nightmare. It feels so real, the pain, the unhappiness. Tears prickled, sweat dampened her clothes.
Another day, another nightmare. Why does the nightmares always disturb my sleep? She asks. She wakes up feeling terrified, and alone, and lonely.
The next day, the nightmare gets even worse. As she wakes up, she suddenly remembers it all. It was no nightmare, it was recollection of her past. The bad childhood.
She starts to go over everything.
The physical abuse... She remembers the pain, the hand mark on her cheeks, on her arms.
The mental abuse...
She remembers the insults, such unimaginable ugly words that was spoken to a girl of such a young age. The words that has absorbed into her, makes her believe that that's how she were, that's who she is. The look on their faces when they say 'you are a girl of no use! Child of the devil! Obnoxious!'
She cries, tears streaming down her cheeks. 'This is why everything is the way it is. Why I can never accept myself the way I am. I was a lost soul then, I am a lost soul now. It's not what I have become, but what they has make me become.' She stares in silent at the four silent wall of her chamber... Her chamber at the asylum...

When We Were Kids...

Sometimes I wish life can be a lot more simple as it were when we were just kids. Living life so carelessly, with no fear of anything. Having great first moments of everything. Living life day by day without any thoughts of what will happen tomorrow or what had happened yesterday. The days when imagination is a gift. People allows you, even encouraged you to use your imagination on things.
Those days are history now. But I refuse to let everything go. I hold on to what comforts me the most at even the worst times of my adult life. My imagination. I have no idea whether it's a common thing for someone at this age to have such an active imagination. Sometimes I'm scared that the line between reality and imagination is getting thinner and thinner by the day.
I have been using my imagination as the drug to cope with reality. Whenever things get ugly, I jump head first to my imaginary reality, as I would call it. As creepy as it sounds, it works...all the time.
Inside the imaginary reality, I am fearless. Standing tall and proud, so invincible. I love and be loved without question. I know no pain or tears or sorrow.
Call it running away from life, I don't care. But it's the only place where I'm safe and sound, with no one and nothing that can hurt me. I do go back to my life and try to go through every head-spinning problems and heart-breaking experience the best I can do. While longing to go back to the safe world I've created at the end of the day.
This is not about being on the verge of insanity. People have their own way of dealing with things in life, and this is mine.
Sometimes I wish life can be a lot more simple as it were when we were just kids. When imaginations were fun. And you don't have to wake up and realize that none of it is true.
