pearls of sorrow Drip, drip, drip. Splatter. Splatter. Splatter. Kate wipes off her tears fiercely, as she wills herself not to cry anymore. It was a futile effort, for the more she tells herself not to, the harder she cries. Why is the Heavens being so unfair to me? WHY ME???!?!?! Why must bad things always happen to me? Where did all the goodness in my life disappeared to?!!? More tears trickled down Kate's cheeks, dampening her shirt. These pearls of sorrow seem to be coming too frequently these few days. They are almost depleting her of the ardour for each day's surprises. She feels too tired and lethargic, and almost left with no more strength to deal with each challenge that is being hurled straight into her face. Letting out one of the many heavy sighs of the week, Kate stares into the distance. Scores of girls with ultra stick-like and waif-like bodies strutted past, giggling madly over some mundane activity. They threw a look at her, before floating away like soul-less beings. Ahh... I wonder how is it like to be a conformist and just go with the flow, ignoring what i really want., Kate thought. No, it is too painful. Too superficial. Almost identical to The Plastics. Going after so many things you deem cool yet to end up with NOTHING. Such is the irony of life. Shaking her head slowly, Kate sighed once again. It is not healthy to sigh you know, kills the mojo in you. Kills it softly and quietly, until it breathes its last in sheer agony. Well, me thinks its time to smile again. To see the clouds become clear once again. To breathe in the smell of freshly mowed grass and to revel in simple delights. The key to such a nirvana, is simply the state of mind. |
