~The Road Less Taken~

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

i've realised that when i actually put my head down and get down to doing something, i actually can do it.

no, i'm not talking about the 5 tutorials i completed in the last 3 days (which were extremely punishing on my hand).

instead...

Time

It seems you know only a warped kind of movement –
Solitude which comes around
Time and again,
Whose mechanics spare you
But only a split second
Of thought, emotion, feeling,
Hesitation –
Before you embark on another of your fruitless journeys.
It seems you know only a monotonous war-cry –
Tones that never quite seem to fit
With your true inner workings,
Sounds which ring out long and loud
To too many a person
In need of your charity –
Sounds which sound like they could last forever.
It seems you know only a misguided purpose –
Serving as the first source of refuge
To the needy and speechless –
A quick synonym for an excuse,
To prove that the world
Can only revolve around you.

But worst of all,
It seems you know only a pitiful fate –
One as the hopeless target
Of hurt and fury, life and death
Destined to end as antiquity,
A slave to the abuse and working
Of the very people
Who proudly created you in the first place –

To prove that, in fact,
The world revolves around you and me.

admittedly it's nowhere near my best effort, but it's a start nonetheless. =)

I stopped to rest at 11:09 PM

Two roads diverged,and I-
took the one less taken...
