The Laments of a Wallflower.

"  Here I stand a lone flower
surrounded by death and destruction.
A single sign of life in this valley of pain and sorrow,
I stand as a beacon to those lost in the remains of the world.
My time is short but my light shall not be extinguished without ensuring there will be a new light to take my place.
A new light to shine through the darkness I was unable to clear away.
For a world without light is no world at all,
For what is darkness without light.
And to ensure that the world will continue on I stand,
Here I stand the last source of sunlight in the world,
The last wall flower in this world.
I must continue to live,
So that I can create a new world from this single flower.
A world that ended, and was reborn with a single wall flower."



This work is not mine, although I wish it was. I merely wish to share it upon those who can understand the beauty of the lines, and the meaning beneath. I'm no fan of plagiarism, but I guess I could make an exception or two for good causes.

(But since this basically counts as a post, I'll put in a song as a treat.

Heroes - David Bowie)

      I actually found it on a facebook page. I'm afraid I forgot to bookmark it, or else I would've linked it.
      Thanks for the heads-up on the song link! I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise :)

Neither am I gonna lament and regret on wasting my days here, because I've enjoyed the time I had and spent here.

Requiem.

He was, no doubt, a mil-no, a bil- nay, a gazillionaire, And she, as plain as the fields could be, Their interests one sided - he could only gaze, Laze upon the thought that was her. He was sure of one thing, though.. He'd never know what peace felt like , ever again. All the wealth he had, and all that he would ever gain, it mattered little to him - for he'd found something. Something, that for the first time in his life, would forever be out of his reach. He was no fool - Oh no, sire, He was a complete idiot! And thus he thought, and think he did - rather foolishly so! The only way to gain peace of mind , in his mind, would be to let her go And the mad man that he was, devised a plan finally. What was it? He'd drop a coin, or any currency that he had, every time a thought stole his mind. He'd place it on whatever was in front of him - so you can imagine the plight of his associates, who knew that the seed of madness took him

Ambivalent? Think again.

I'm indecisive when it comes to some things. Like picking what kind of cereal I want for breakfast, or what kind of chocolates I really prefer. I get thoroughly confused when I'm handed a menu, and all I can think of is "I want all of this. " When you get offered a choice, you think about the best option out of it, right? You'd consider personal gain, which is of utmost priority. After that,you think about how it'd affects others  (most people don't even get to this stage. ) and finally, you think about the option that you didn't consider. It's like the question from Matrix all over again - do you want the red pill, or the pink one? ( "No wait, it was blue. " is what you were thinking, oui?) No matter what you chose, it's entirely up to you to make the choice. Whether you make the choice by letting your "seven sins" affect your decision, or you decide it rationally is none of my business. Because I'm just a
