And so
And so, suddenly everything seems to happen like it did all over again.
All of these seem so familiar. And I don't mean the school work. What I am referring to is something else. Something closer to heart.
Whenever you feel that you are all alone in the night. When you think there is nothing more for you to care for.
Until... Some thing else comes along. Then you decide to give it a chance. A chance that is not without your doubts.
You longed for the opportunity for everything to change. The change that you have been otherwise waiting for all your life. It seems to be there. Just a little beyond your fingertips. All you have to do is to reach for it. It is just a little bit more.
But alas. It is always that bit that you can never reach. The tiny bit that is always separating you from your Eden. This is when your doubts set in. You begin to wonder if you what it takes. In this state of mind, any hesitation is magnified to a million times. Any distractions will result in you falling further away from it.
Till eventually you are back firmly onto the ground that you started from. And you wonder as usual, what you did to deserve this. This all too familiar torture that you are subjected to, time and time again. Why you ask, and no answer shall you receive yet again.
And then you will realise that it wasn't your time. You think that it never will be in the near future. Picking yourself up, dusting yourself, you drag your heavy feet across the sand. The vast empty desert that you have always been walking in. That same desert which you often wonder how long will it take you to reach the next oasis? The real oasis that is not a mirage which have deluded you so often.
And so you continue to walk, alone in the unforgiving cold of the night. Your only company is that of the crescent hanging in sky, that snigger, mocking your pathetic state.
But deep down you know. You know that you are not being punished. It is just you are not rewarded yet. Long your labour might be, you know the fruits of your success will taste sweeter than others. And your rewards will be justified. Hanging onto this belief, you continue..
For you know it has taken you this far. It won't let you fall just yet. It was, and it will always be so.
