Shadows of Lesser Nights
*light falls, beauty falls, life crumbles, before you. Turn around, and you will find, the fragments that make life whole.
In Saigon, the roads filled with so many stories to tell, that has yet to be known, to be heard.
The rays from the sun, how bright they shine, they stream into my life, sticking a gleam to this distorted window, where the complexities of life show and tell people of many things that not everyone may know.
I guess life's just the way it is. There are sometimes wonders that pop out unexpectedly but there are also times where things don't go the way you want them to. Everything goes wrong, the way that makes one feel horrid, feel so bad and uncomfortable, things that make me cry. The greater mysteries of life have yet to reveal themselves, they show up at opportune times, but that's not always the case either. Life's a win-lose situation;you gain something by losing another. That's what I call the "mechanism of life". I wish I could be like Newton, coming up with my own theories that are logical, but sadly, mine are seemingly illogical. How devastating.
You all will just be a part of my memories. What you do in the present will affect the kind of respect you all deserve from me. "Do unto others what you want others do to you" This is what I firmly believe in. If you give me the cold treatment, you think I would be that kind to be warm and welcoming towards you? FAT CHANCE. Fine, now go ahead if you wanna leave me alone. GOGOGO. I don't care no more(but at least I think I still do). In any case, friends play a major role in determining whether we all will make it across this humongous wall, an obstacle that we are all facing and where much preparation is required. I'm trying my best to be the kind of friend I want to be;someone who cares, who helps, who lends a listening ear, someone who takes initiative, someone who tries her best to help each other out in time of need. I just want to be who I am and no one, no one's gonna influence me in a bad way that corrupts my character and more importantly, my beliefs.
Defining who you are. Who are we really to give the cold shoulder to someone for no rhyme or reason? Who are we to disrespect someone of lower/higher authority than us? Who are we to do all of these things we've been constantly doing? Who are we actually? I, for one, believe that our behaviour, opur actions, define who we truly are. Our beliefs shape our character, our character shapes the perception others may form of us.
Well, all I cn sya now is that, in the world, everyone may be taken for granted. Many people are being exploited and taken advantaged of and in return what do they get? NOTHINGGG. What's this? Don't you think it's unfair? Anyhow, I still think that the good will eventually emerge victorious and success ultimately belongs to the MOST perservering and not to people who aren't serious in anything they do. To them, a sloppy piece of work is a piece of what they call "achievement". Anyhow, for myself, I've set high standards for myself. I aspire to reach them. I hope I will reach them and I believe I can and I will.
