[reality check: 1:00 a.m.]

scenario:
- bedroom, dimly lit
- girl in tears, phone in hand... staring, staring...

(fade to black in 3, 2, 1...)




i sit here
staring into space
remembering those days
when life
used to be simple

you were always
who i imagined
you\'d be
but lately
all that\'s holding us
together
is their high expectations
and your idea
of a simple life...
(you can never
find that in me)

was it real in the first place?

my eyes
can\'t help but wander
avoiding
your intense stare
afraid you\'d hear
my silent screams
piercing
this god-forsaken bedroom

and my mind
goes through several scenarios
of what it\'s like
not to be

i\'m perfectly aware
of my loneliness
slowly sinking in
like quicksand
the harder i resist
the deeper i fall

and i hide behind myself
as i slowly lose sight
of what was once mine...






...3, 2, 1, and...

Cut!

Roll playback.

Author's Comments

It's been quite a tumultuous period for me... I've been rendered practically helpless, indecisive, clueless... confused. Hence the fact that I've somewhat distanced myself away from this site. It's kind of ironic really. You think you know what you're doing... but in the end you realized you've managed to trap yourself and you can't figure out how to get out. What ever happened to that euphoria I once felt? Has it dissipated so quickly? It's not that the feeling's not there anymore... Not at all... It's just the sheer complicatedness of the issue...

I wrote this right on the submission box. After walking for a good half an hour, I've had time to think... and I'm not even supposed to be in school today and yet here I am... typing away my frustrations... my melancholy...

So here's to the risk I took, and here's to the setbacks I've experienced...

I apologize profusely for the somewhat depressing description.

- Issh.

Be swift as the night; the words we speak are more agile than the eye can see
