First a child…. afraid …
the bears, the wolves, the howling, the night, the spiders, the fires….
then came the strange men in mommy’s life… the smoking… the perfume… the gifts… the smiles….
then came the tanks, the bullets, the running, the explosions… the wounds….
the bleeding…
Then that fateful flight…. to the land of the “free”….
Met my dad… didn’t know he was so big. He saved me… protected me… sheltered me…
sheltered the rest… protected everyone… i wasn’t special…. he loved all God’s children….
I grew fat… lazy… just like the rest of my brethren….
Then i met a girl…. i wanted her… she teased me… mocked my obesity…
i felt the hunger… again… to fight for something…. my dad supported me…
then came the new fear… fear of rejection…
learning to smile… like those men my mom brought all those nights….
Gotta remember to smile….. protect my heart…. a new fear takes grip…. forget survival… forget the guns…
forget the death…
Smile along with me… in this world…
Sulk… and you walk alone……
Life is like a cup of coffee!
We drink it to realize that the sugar is missing! To lazy to stir it up. We reach the bottom and find all the sweetness there.
So?! I look for the sweetness that is around me and stir up my life with it before its too late to drink the nectar of life.
I believe in myself and try to take life as it comes. I love challenges and explore all avenues before giving up on anything. Take chances…tell the truth…date someone totally wrong for you…say NO…spend all your cash…fall in love…get to know someone random…be random…say I love U…sing out loud…laugh at stupid jokes…cry…smile…apologize. ..tell someone how much they mean to you…tell a jerk what you think…laugh till your stomach hurts and your eyes watery…live life…have no regrets!!!
Buddha said, attachment to things is the source of so much suffering, when we’re clinging to an idea of how things should be! P.S: It’s my passion too and I love to write!
Let yourself be free! 🙂
