Peace and Dignity

What have i left to give to this world
But my sadness, fear and insecurities?
And my fake smiles, and my fake laughs?
For i am not worth a second, nor a thought.

Do i not have the right to seek in death,
What life has so long denied of me?
Grant me this last selfish act,
And i will consume no more of this world.

Innuendos of Criticism

Being the humans that we are, we all have flaws. No matter how much some of us might deny it, our characters are littered with shortcomings – some more outstanding than others. It is quite okay to point them out in the hopes of mitigating them, but there is always the right time, venue and way to do it. It’s a wonder though, that there are still some of us that do not understand or at least employ this idea. Isn’t this a standard part in educated human interaction? Criticism is simply not part of those human attributes that we are good at expressing or delivering. In itself, criticism is a neutral thing. Take way aspects of ulterior motives, emotional implications and improper interaction: pointing someone’s flaws is a vital part of our daily lives. The only problem is, we’re never objective beings to begin with and often we find ourselves victim to social and behavioral innuendos. This problem of not knowing when, where and how to point out something whether good or bad to a ...

No Faith

Another second turns, as quickly as a heartbeat's passing. Idle moments are too sublime to my hold, yet are too teasing beyond my control. Why time could never grant me, these little moments that never stay? but in my mind would always want Unsated as a longing beyond the confines of my breath. An hour just passed. How quickly must they turn? I tremble as i let tomorrow unfold. Hopelessly watching the turning of the world, Fearfully watching my life wither away. No chance of ever escaping, As fate i have so long loathed. No hope, but worst no faith. original date: 2005-06-11

Prayer of a Disenchanted Life

is it terrible of me to say i don't want to live this life anymore. is it giving up when i give up this life. i know i have asked for too many times now, for second chances in life to find a purpose. and for so many years i have tried. and, for equally many years i have faltered. maybe i made a mistake for asking, maybe we made a mistake for even trying. maybe i really have no purpose here. maybe we made a mistake for me being here. i might have had a purpose before, but i have messed up and missed it. now, i just linger and hope to find another but i can no longer get it back. i have lost what i can no longer regain. if it is time to let go of the hope, isn't it also time to let go of this life? so i ask that you let me go, for i feel it is now my time to leave. please let me go. ------------ created: 2013-09-09 8:42PM @hougang, sg
