It wasn't beautiful, it was very pretty.
It wasn't today, it was a month ago.
I don't believe him, I reckon he lied.
This is my first post this month, it's been months actually. Many things have happened. Some good, some bad, all involved emotions; which fades eventually.
Anyway, I was asked to write for the school magazine by a teacher. I submitted it but it was too short-.- I was suppose to make it longer and hand it in but I went to Tibet for two weeks and forgot to finish it. Oops.
Hence, I decided to share it on my blog to anyone who stills reads this dead blog of mine and not to change anything from this. I think it is beautiful the way it is. Take it or leave it; that's my answer.
My Fight
I pick up my blade.
"On guard" says the judge.
Perspiration forms on my forehead; weakness is all I am at this point. Courage is hiding somewhere underneath my bones, too little to do any good. Emotions in me builds up, making my eyes moist; blurring my vision. I think of giving up but is there a better option.
Too late: my fight has begun.
My opponent shows no sign of distress,. Well, neither shall I. Does is know how fragile I am behind my deceptive appearance? Would she be sharp enough to know that it is the key to my failure? I launched my attack, she blocks it, so, I remise. The contact from the tip of the blade onto her body sends of f an alarm signifying my win. A point is added for me.
"Yes" I say to myself mentally. " The feeling of awakening has risen in me again."
Oh, how I have longed for this moment where I feel sereneness. I walk across my opponent to shake her hand. As I shake her hand, I catch a glimpse of sadness in her eyes; my heart becomes heavy-hearted. I realized that life is a game of give and take. What she has gotten may not be what she wanted but all is fair in the game of life.
