EVERYBODY WAS WRONG!
Everybody Was Wrong!
While approaching Planet Earth at
my birth: I read these words... Welcome to the World, your Theatre of Dreams!
Fifteen years later
after all the hype of endless dreaming based on everything I imagined as
success.
Listening attentively to my
teachers who provided me with necessary navigation tools.
Slowly, I
trudged and waded through these foggy rough terrains: looking for my rainbow.
Up until this point of my life, I was
told everybody was wrong but, no one dared to tell me the whole truth.
Everybody was
wrong and nobody was right! Oh boy!
This meant everyone born before my
time, left me misleading trails and footprints: I have been following for
decades!
Imagine
yourself facing the horror of going through the dark forest of life, only to
discover after way too deep into nowhere: everything goes south; you miss your
way out!
Everybody was wrong and nobody was
right! This now sounds like a badly written rhyme with lines and verses stacked
up like a pile of rubbish. Hello. You must sift through this messy life to make
sense of it all.
Everybody was
wrong and nobody is right. Why do I have to spend half of my life trying to
figure out what went wrong with my first half? The clock on the wall can always
be reset to correct timing but my time cannot be set back even by a second.
Since day one, I have been breathing
with each pounding heartbeat and pushing forward with every horsepower I
possessed.
Growing up is
growing old, this is a fact of life in my life. Running as a kid was as easy as
breathing. But alas, nowadays my steps are getting a little shorter and a
little slower. What happened to all the reserves I used to draw out from, my
well of life.
Everybody is wrong and nobody is
right. If you get a good education, you are guaranteed to find a good paying
job: you are on your way to a successful life. Years later, like a dog: I am
still trying to catch the tail I do not have!
Hey, what
happened to all my friends, all those faces which graced my world and kept me busy
till I even failed to realize the sun had already gone down? Is the world
peeling off from me or, is it me splitting from the rest of everybody else?
Everybody was wrong and nobody was
right. Everything around my space keeps on changing, even the street names. The
people in my world look stranger and use foreign accents and indistinct tongue
I do not understand.
Is this still
the same planet I was born into? I could always tell the difference and confirm
it is still the same world by looking up the skies. The sky forever remains blue
just it was like when I was a child!
