That's it, you know?
if you don't wanna give it a shot, it's cool with me.
i've had enough of clinging on PATHETICALLY.
it's ok, really.
go on with ALL your lives.
you five DISGUST me sometimes.
i expected so much..
haha.i guess i expected too much, huh?
and NO ONE could fit the bill.
then again, who am i to expect so much?
i am a NOBODY, right?
i guess humans are like that;
natuarlly selfish.
well then, if YOU ALL can be selfish,
why can't i?
not saying that i wasn't in the past,
but i'm talking MORE selfish;
total disregard for YOUR affairs,
ignorance of YOUR feelings.
plain and blatant disregard for your EXISTANCE.
would you all like it?
hmmm, especially, YOU?
i guess you..WOULDN'T, right?
ahhh.that brings me to my next point;
then why did you do it to others?
i can only tell a biased tale,
but from my point of view,
you're doing it to EVERYONE.
and if you know me well enough,
(though i doubt you do)
you will know that i don't take these things lying down.
i'm stubborn and foolhardy,
but that's who i am.
and sometimes, being who i am gets me somewhere.

i though that we could hold on forever,
i guess not.
it IS just a cycle, is it not?
realization, depression, then anger.
i won't let the cycle start again.
i won't be THIS foolish again.
to think i actually TRUSTED you guys.
HAHA.joke of the century.
it's funny, really funny.
my sides are splitting at the hilarity of it all.
well then, i've had my laugh,
and now, things'll go back to the way they used to be.
only now, you won't see me as a shadow anymore;
i'll be gone.

ever wondered how some people can stay in touch forever?
i guess you guys have WONDERED,
perhaps even KNOWN,
but you just didn't make the effort, huh?
well done!
ALL of you contributed to the WONDEFUL state of our HOTs.
BRILLIANT!
i just want to congratulate all of you;
on losing faith on THEM,
on only looking for them for your selfish needs,
on not making the effort.
that's it, you know?
the final straw.
i'm probably not the person for the job,
but that ain't stopping me,
since NO ONE'S being doing it.
this IS the last of illusions.
this IS the final trace of innocence.
it's OVER.

tsk, then again, who am i to say all this?
i am but a LONELY, MISERABLE prick,
engulfed by a sea of GIANTS.
well, well.
let the miserable prick be,
she's going to disappear any time soon anyway.

sometimes, i wonder why i'm not dead.
most times, i don't see a reason,
and i wish that i was.
sometimes, life SEEMS so much better to be dead;
unfeeling, unknowing.
then i think,
"what's after death?"
and i remember that my soul will still exist.
and i don't dare to climb over the ledge.
it's pathetic, isn't it?
the only thing holding me back from suicide,
is the thought of hell AFTER death.
it's ridiculous i have to REMIND myself not to think about
climbing over the edge,
or taking a pair of sciossors in hand.
it's funny, it really is.
too bad most people don't think so,
and think that it's a plea for attention.
sigh, i pity those people;
they only know how to judge,
they don't really know how to feel.

it's ironic, sometimes.
you decide to give something up,
but yet the attempt backfires when you get something back.
it's ridiculous, yet it's happening.
irony, plain irony.
haha, life DOES love to throw you for a loop, doesn't it?
well, i'll cling on for the ride.
i want to see what life can do FOR me;
no longer what life can do TO me.
i've seen the effects, and now, i'm ready.
i'll enjoy it this time,
not one thing can stop it.

i'll walk away, if i need to.
stay, if i want to.
laugh, if i have to.
it's all about making the right choices,
and sicking with the decisions.
i won't bend toward what i SHOULD do, anymore.
it's all about my impulse.
i will do what i think i should;
not what others think i should do.
so what if i'm left out again?
i'll just find other company.
inferiority is something i don't want to have to deal with again.
i'll just find others who make better worth of my time.
or energy.
it's evident that some don't care,
because i'm "that type of person".
so if nobody gives a shit,
why should i freaking care?!
haha.i see it now.
manipulated and foolish;
that's what i've been.
i won't be that person again.
no longer, no longer.

i'll do what i need to;
word hard,
laugh hard.
i don't "play".
it'll only lead to disastrous consequences,
since i don't know the game.
so i'll laugh, by the sidelines.
laugh at those who choose to be blinded,
laugh at those who are lying to themsleves.
laugh at the rule-makers.
i was once like them;
phony and insecure.
maybe, i still am,
but now, i know.
and now, i'll make an effort to change.
no one deserves to make the rules of your life.
i'm making mine, MYSELF.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

i have a confession to make.
i've been lying about everything i believed in,
everything i said i would do.
i KNEW, but i didn't believe.
i kept lying to MYSELF,
that i knew and that i WOULD change the situation.
i guess, in some ways i did.
but for the majority, i didn't.
all that's gonna change.
i hope that this time,
when i say it,
i'll actually mean it, and believe it.
and that this time around,
everything i want happening, WILL happen.
i hope i won't disappoint,
nor will i face disappontment again.
it's gonna be real this time.

acceptance;
it's the hardest thing in the world,
but once it's done,
the rest will follow smoothly.
i guess that's what i need to do;
accept the truth.
i've been blinded by SELF deceit for too long,
it's time to make ammendments.

it's been quite busy lately;
the ending of one thing,
leads to the beginning of another.
new knowledge, new understanding, new decisions.
now i know alot more,
now i know what i must do.
it's not a matter of 'can i? or 'should i',
but a matter of 'i must.
full stop.
i've left too many questions unanswered in my life,
and i'm paying the price for it now.
as they say,
'once bitten, twice shy'.
i won't commit the same mistake twice.
so now, i'm answering all the question marks in my life,
and i'm taking a stand now.
i can't afford to sway with the wind anymore.
my back's been pushed too far backward.

so it's my fault, again.
i'm sick of this.
i hate pretending.
but it seems like that is the only thing that i've been doing around you.
maybe telling you was a wrong move,
i don't know,
because you NEVER TELL ME ANYTHING.
and need to know what and why you feel.
i'm sorry if i made you angry,
or hurt you (though i SERIUOSLY doubt the occurance).
i doubt you're even reading this.
but, if you are,
please know that i'm really sorry.
i never meant to hurt,
i was just so angry,
and i didn't know what else to do.
i guess sometimes,
you have to take a step back to move in the right direction.
maybe i need to let you go,
as you have so long ago.
i was just too stubborn, huh?
it's gonna be hard,
but..
if it makes you happy.

goodbye, **** ****..

you.
thanks for pulling me aside on friday.
i guess it's like that;
no matter how bleak it looks,
i think it's better this time round;
don't ask me why,
i just..feel that way.
maybe it's because we're more willing to talk,
maybe it's because i understand more.
or maybe it's because i finally understand what you mean when you say you can't trust anybody.
i finally get it.
i really do.
thanks for enlightening me.

you
you continue to disappoint me, don't you?
i gave you one chance.
you threw away the remaining two.
i thought you would have picked up on the part of
'reading between the lines'.
you keep telling me you can't let me go,
but you what?
you're lying.
everyone is,
it's just that your is so obvious.
and maybe you've finally opened my eyes;
and i see how blind i've been.
is this really the end of it?
ask yourself.
because i'm only willing to make sacrifices if you are.

life's just such a freaking mess.
and i'm sick of being cryptic and beating round the bush.
if everyone thought a little more like that,
the world might be a better place.
then again,
you can never be too sure.
so we'll take out chances,
and hope that we can get if,
if and when we do fall.

don't abandon me, you three.
i need you guys, now, more than ever.

it's done.
maybe now, you WILL understand.

i've degraded myself because of you.
i've lost myself because of you.
i've CRIED because of you.

but you've never known;
you don't know;
and you never will.

bitch.

and now, i'm done with you.
no more running away.
like a blade through the heart,
i continued living as if nothing had happened.
because techinically, nothing did.
everytime i saw you,
that blade drove deeper and deeper.
but you never knew, huh?
even if you did, i wouldn't be worth your attention, right?
i knew it, you selfish bitch.
so now, the blade is coming out.
i'm pulling it out.

fuck you.
i will hate you one day.
mark.my.words.

"Let's just pretend that i've moved on, and that life goes on without you."

"Tear myself open, i sew myself.
my weakness is that i care too much.
and my scars remind me that the past is real.
tear my heart open; just to feel".

"i can't help you fix yourself".

and so i move on.
i have to let you go.

you.
you ask me if i know you.
i don't.so, you give up on me?
i'm saying i'm completely innocent,
but take a look;
a self examination if you please.
it's not me anymore,
i don't want to tangle in these issues.
i think now, more than ever,
it's YOU.
so you'll have to think your way out of this one.
i'm stepping back,
and you'll never see me again,
unless you want to.

you.
selfish bi*ch.
you told me everything,
i listened.
true, i told you things too,
but why is it,
when i thought i could depend on your listening ear,
you disappeared?
is this really so one sided?
you do all the talking?
and i just listen?
is this what it's all about?
if it is,
then i take back all my words,
and state instead that i sorely regret knowing you.

you pushed me to harden my heart,
to suck it in and rough it out.
now, i am what you wanted me to be.
i will cling no longer.
i will detach.
because that is what you've always wanted me to do,
and now, i'm granting you your wish.

maybe all the decisions i've made in the past 6 months were wrong.
maybe i've been making all the wrong choices all this time.
but now, i'm wide awake.
eyes open, pupils dilated.
i see everything.
i'm no longer blind of soft.
i try to be impartial, unbiased.
and now, i can judge better.
maybe some people have always been there.
maybe there are some who deserve more of my attention.
maybe there are some who don't deserve my attention at all.
the dawn is breaking,
i see the light;
all are coming out in the open.
i see everything,
so i will not be fooled.
not by YOU, you or you.

i'll step out of your lives,
all three of you.
two because you apparently don't want me there,
and one, cos i can't be bothered anymore.
i.am.different.
i am who you never knew.
i am who you'd never expect.
so, watch out.
i'm not holding back this time.

Launching into the skies;
soaring, believing.
i can make it,
i know i can.

Arching over the horizon;
great revelations, awe.
i've never seen the world from this angle,
it's beautiful.

Plummeting into descent;
insecurity, fear.
when did it change?
how could i have been so blind?

Rocketing toward the ground.
Numb, devoid of feeling.
this is my doom,
i accept.

Does it kill you;
..to pay that morsel of attention?
would it kill you;
..to give more than a passing glance?

then again,
i was never a person.
just an apparition.
a phomtom of the past,
ghost of the present.
i some how ceased to exist.
have i even existed?
people saw through me.
i am glass;
fragile and transparent.
i wonder if i'm human.

numb,
i want to feel pain.
it's a reminder that i'm not fake,
it's a reminder that i can feel.
and it's the only thing that keeps me from crying.

Ploughed too deep in your world,
you're oblivious to me.
i'll be selfish, cos frankly, no one cares.
Buried too deep in your problems;
you ignore my presence.
I'll be brutally honest, cos no one bothers.
I offer you my existance, but i am a pest.
I wonder what tore us apart.
Were we even tight?
I doubt so;
nothing else matters to you.
So, we'll have it;
I won't bother, so won't you.

And you.
I thouhgt you could read between the lines,
but apparently, you can't.
I thought you ceased being selfish,
but obviously, you were, are, and always will be.
I know your classmates suck,
but you're no better.
Excuse me if i don't feel like discussing your problems,
cos frankly, i, too, am selfish.
And unfair deals won't cut it.

'I've had it'.
Repeated too many times,
and now, meaningless.
Have i really had it?
Perhaps.
Screw the world.
Give me pain.

that's all i haf to say.i'm gonna remember =2/m '04 forever..i'm gonna remember the HOTfamily forever.i'm gonna miss you all forever..]

this was written last year, after school ended.
looking back on it now, i don't know how i could've broken those promises.
they meant so much, but i did so little to keep them.
the sorry state of my determination and faith.
but, i guess it goes for most of the HOTfamily too.
conflicts, quarrels, anger.
our family really HAS broken up, hasn't it?
cumultaive effect of things and changes to our lives?
i think so;
things will never be the same.
the bonds won't hold.
everything, in essence, is truly..
lost.

I guess true acceptance isn't as liberating as people claim it is.rather, it leaves you will a dull throb in your innermost being, because what you've just realized, may not be what you want.For once, i knew in my mind, heart and soul that i had to let go.i couldn't hold onto the past forever, i couldn't cling onto hope any longer.i couldn't hold on to the phantom of the past; i couldn't hold on to a ghost.time passes, things and situations change.i never thought that was stupid; till now.

In retrospect, i guess it had to happen; i had to wake up.she was right; i couldn't hold on to the past.it's like a fearthy piece of cloth; it comes, as swiftly as it goes.i couldn't hold on to the past any longer.it ends here; nothing can take me back, nothing can bring me forward, till i stop.the past is gone now, tucked away in a special corner of my heart; only taken out in times of comfort and need.they are of the things we had, but lost; of the things we wish, but failed to achieve; of the ideals and dreams, that had yet to come true.yes, these are all gone now, flown with the swift wind.it carries all these away quickly, leaving you awed in how something so treasured coud pass so fast.yet, it does.time stand still for no man; and humans are still living in denial of that fact.but, it's undeniable that we have to let go of the past one day.

I know it in my heart i had to let this go.throbbing, yes, but at least i can take comfort in the fact that i am no longer deluding myself.there are those who still believe astutely that the HOTfamily is existant, but all i see is its disintegrated form.phamtom of the past, memory of the passing time, and bane of the present.yes, we have to let it go.then how do we go on from there?i keep who i have, reminisce in the memories and continue living.i want to mourn the loss, but i wont.i am the ice queen, and i will be, forever and always.

goodbye, past.
goodbye memories.
goodbye, good times.
goodbye, friendships.
goodbye, hopes.
i bid you all a fond farewell.
i am leaving,
and not coming back.

why can't things stay forever?
because they aren't meant to.
of course.
everything has a beginning and an end.
nothing lasts.
and i hate it.
i want to rebel against it,
but i can't.
i never will be able to.
nothing i do can change it.
nothing i do ever counts.
so i should just give up,
i should just hang back.
i should just step away.
and leave them to their own spheres of happiness.
i wonder if they'll ever regret;
maybe i'll think myself insane.
trying to change something fixed.
haha.the hilarity of it all.

WORK.
PLAY.
torn betweent the two.
it was never an option for me,
but i'm left wondering about the decisions.
then, i look at the future.
anguish.
hate.
resentment.
when will this pass?
no when.
life is a torture.
life is meant to be slogged out.
school is an institute for the insane.
i think all of us will go insane at one point in time or another;
some things just speed up the process.

I HATE IT ALL.
I HATE THIS LIFE.
I HATE MYSELF.
I HATE EVERYTHING!!!

knocking on the door of obscuirty.

revivial.
in the hearts of those who have strayed.
a spark.
igniting, spreading, blazing.
that's how it should be.
a passion for all things.
especially one.

everything's planned.
life's smoother,
happier.
safer.
i've realized something.
i've given up on 2.
and now,
it's good.
it's all good.
change is necessary.
cligning onto the past will do nothing.
looking to the future will bring misery.
live for who you are.
live for NOW.
live for everything you want to do in that moment.
then, pray it will come to fruition.
that is how life is meant to be.
a constant battle of the planned,
and how we change it.
happiness is not an illusion.
it's simply the realization,
that life isn't as hard as you think.
it's the simple acceptance that there ARE things worth your eveything.
it's raw belief that things will come and go,
and it's not up to you to change it,
but someone else,
who cares about you more than you'll ever know.
He is not a phantom;
you just need to have faith in his existance,
and wonders will never cease to happen.

i'm waiting for that revival.
a tornado,
whisking me into it's spiral.
flying, floating.
yet, safe.

things have been looking up.
letting go.
sacrifice.
maybe it was needed.
i guess i was retarding the process,
by holding on.
and now..
since it's gone,
i don't feel the pain anymore.
wait.screw that;
i don't feel anymore.
fullstop.

valerie--
hey.how have you been, babe?
things been going well for you?
..i know life isn't what everyone expects sometimes.
it's just..unpredictable.
you never really know when you're REALLY laughing.
life's an act.
a great big play;
sometimes you get to personify your character,
but most times, you're plainly an actor.
you're happier now?
good.
cos everyone deserves to be.
God planned it that way.
He has a plan for all of us,
i KNOW it.
but i can't DO it.
its like..somany decisions in life have been made,
and in the end, you regret making half of them.
and now, when you wanna turn back,
you don't know how.
i don't know about you,
but i fear judgement;
so i hope you'll survive it,
and have a clear conscience.
cos God is not to be trifled with.
i hope He blesses you in whatever you do,
cos i know one girl can't do it on her own;
so just, trust.
simple word,
great meaning(:
and may God show you his miracles.(:

thanks for your concern.
you don't know how much it meant.

why won't you?
i'm burnt.
nothing left to say,
nothing left to do.
drawn back.
at a distance.
you won't let me in.
i'm watching through a glass pane.
and you know what?
i.give.up.

i won't watch any longer.
back turned,
the first few steps are hard.
but, i take them anyway.
path to oblivion, numbness.
i'm glad to oblige.
you people kept me out.
and now, i'm walking away.

nothing i can say,
nothign i can do will remedy anything.
i am USELESS.
one USELESS,
INSIGNIFICANT being,
unworthy to live.
so guess what?
i'll just, disappear.
rid everyone of my cowardly existance.
i am truly worth nothing anyway.
no commitment,
no fire,
no passion.
no nothing.
i am worthless.
so be it.

cave in,
hermit.
staying for life.
secluded, outcasted.
it's been like this.
i've finally begun to see.
i was so blind;
i kept kidding myself.
WHO AM I TO ANYONE!
hahahaha.
the hilarity.
it's useless even asking;
it's worthless even wondering.

that's it.
closed chapter.
life leads me down a different path.
i've lost my faith.
i've misplaced my trust.
and so i go,
and so i go..

MICHAEL BUBLE.HOME.
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I’m fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

collision.
the meeting of two objects,
creating friction and simply knocking into each other.
there's no other way around it.

stop.think.
how do you prevent this?
stop.think.
how do you stop this?
stop.think.
can you ever stop things like these?
stop.think.
pause.

i draw a blank.
nothing comes to my mind.
it's almost as if everything's erased,
everything's been wiped off the slate,
and i can start again.
no past;
just the present,
only the future.
and i'm happy.
flying seems natural.
i'm at peace.
nothing in the world could phaze me now;
i was changed.
i wasn't going to make the same mistakes.
i was wiser,
better.
stronger.
in essence, ready.
or was i?

foolishness is a man's true vice.
fools.
who would've guessed people would speculate about them?
self proclaimed fools, fools in truth;
what does it matter?
they are all fools;
unwilling to change,
hardy toward failure.
try as they might,
they've had it.
the good, the bad, the ugly.
they've seen it.
fools aren't always those who lack in experience,
or knowledge.
a fool is subject to opinion.
opinion is subject to perception.
then, you start to wonder,
why is anyone a fool?

stop.think.
repition is a foolish act, no?
stop think.
why do we keep running?
stop.think.
why do we keep fooling ourselves?
stop.think.
pause.

judgement.
it's passed everyday.
we are told not to judge;
the judge is often criticised,
the plaintiff always pitied.
what injustice has been delt on this poor soul?
why must he suffer?
judge as one might,
there is always no true fairness.
it's all in the mind.
it's all in perception.
what you perceive is what you believe;
do you believe he's innocent?

why do you keep teeling me lies?
half truths?
why do you keep with holding things from me?
why don't you talk to me anymore?
am i really too incapapble?
can i not be trusted?
it's these questions that drive me insane.
fact or fiction?
lies of truth?
i don't know what i'm telling myself anymore.
things are a blur.
i am detached.
i watch the world from above.
i see an interesting character.
normal, but perculiar.
i see all she does.
i know all she thinks.
i feel everything she does.
it's surreal.
stumbling, scrambling to get up.
that's all she ever does.
she's pathetic.
i snort in contempt.
i do not know her.
i do not wish to see her;
yet, i do.
i thought it was a cruel game i was forced to play,
putting me through the agony of watching a pathetic being,
trying to fit in?
what was the point in that?
was this what was left of life's humour?
a sick joke?
a parody of a tragedy?
this can't be true,
no human being deserved to continue living like that.
i saw no point in this game,
till i relized--
that girl was me.

stop.think.
listen to the wind, what does it say?
stop.think.
contemplate the clouds, what do they tell you?
stop.think.
understand the world, what is it showing you?
stop.think.
pause.

spiralling into the unknown,
i can only take my shame deeper.
plunging into fear,
i cannot keep this anger for long.
sinking beneath the surface,
i can only fade into the background.
reaching oblivion,
i find no one left.
i find nothing left.
and i suddenly desire to lay down and rest.
yes, rest.
sleep; take to slumber.
i want to leave life behind,
cast it to the winds;
let them carry them away.
yes, far, far away.
i never want to hear,
never want to see them again.
this was all one sick joke.
no one can make sense out of it.
i laugh, instead, till i am hoarse.
it is funny--
this senselessness;
this follishness.
i revel in it.
for i am i fool.
in truth and in lies;
i am a fool.
finding myself backed against a wall,
i take comfort in its solid presence.
never moving, stable.
easy.
nothing was hard here,
nothing ever was.
i wanted to stay there for eternity.
sleep came,
i closed my eyes.

stop.think.
what do you see?
stop.think.
what do you know?
stop.think.
is this what you want?
stop.think.
pause.

facades up, masks in place.
frown tucked away, emotions cast aside.
i am a puppet.
a puppet was not supposed to rebel.
but i have been a bad puppet,
and now was the time to rectify it.
strings in place,
i go limp.
the puppet master takes over.
through dead eyes,
i watch the world clap and laugh with delight.
they are happy.
on the inside, i think;
i am a tool,
nothing but a tool.
nothing else matters,
only others do.
and so i live;
pretending and dead.

stop.think.
do you have any regrests?
stop.think.
do you wish for anything?
stop.think.
i guess it doesn't matter.
pause.

..does it?

"and i think to myself,
what a wonderful world."

clockwork of life.
monotonous spinning.
feelings blurred into oblivion.
circumstances screaming for attention.
withdrawal from the present.
shunning of the past.
awakening of need.
desire for success.
quickening of pace.
running.
never looking back.
too late.
cannot stop.
free falling into darkness.
plunging into fate.
regrets.
fear.
agitation.
frustration.
futile attempts of escape.
unheard screams.
cries of anguish.
lost.
forgotten.
dead
