Update on life

  • Sister becomes slightly crazy and kicks phone from table while in the middle of a tribal dance of sorts.
  • Mom's temporarily borrowed phone has aggravating smiley screensaver.
  • People stare weirdly at a cuckoo 18 year old in the neighbourhood talking to herself as she is walking and threatening to pour water on phone if it doesnt stop leering.
  • Phone is fixed and all things are bright and beautiful once again.
  • Downed three cups of tea and proceeded to sing opera songs to friend calling long distance.
  • Choreographed new "plumbing" dance after being the only person in my batch to get it for the university practical exam.
  • Classmates threaten to pour water on my smiling face if I dont stop "acting like a baboon", and I sadly realise the irony of life.

Verse

I seek no shelter from grey clouds that carpet skies above
I ask for no compassion from eyes filled with tears and love
I am not afraid of terrific rain that threatens to pour
I will cherish each blessed ray, and then search for more
Till I soar, bleak lands below, above the heavy cloud
And the space I begged for, is everywhere around
Will I then forget the tough sacrifices made
Perhaps I will, perhaps, I'll give it all away
