A Spark Doused

Is it funny that...

I want to stop believing in the beautiful sunsets

That used to glitter my eyes

Making be whisper

Life is really beautiful?

Is it funny that...

The glow in my eyes slowly dies

Slowly refusing myself to the lights

In the dark, only I saw

Dim might they be?

Is it funny that...

A child like me saw the world pretty

No matter how ugly it might be

A child like me sees the world ugly

No matter how pretty it might be

Is it funny that...

The hand that clung to hopes

Hopes everyone mocked

Finally got tired

Of the bruises it gained when it held on?

Is it funny that...

The optimistic fire that raged inside me

That burned even through the storms

Is dead

Author's Note

It's a sad sad day when somebody finally kills the fire in a hopeful's heart

it's not funny at all, it's reality!
I find it ironic that every time we put more firewood to our optimistic life, there will always someone or somthing will put the fire out... but that doesn't mean we choose to give up, we keep on firing it up for its a choice for us to survive...

amazing piece little sis...
miss you....
see you soon!

There really are people like that and perhaps, sometimes, it makes you believe the fire really died. But it didn't~! :D Thank you kuya~! I miss you too

phenomenal piece of work here...

the philosophical questions raised as youth grows up and finds life to be a bust..the cynical attitude, the jaded adult wonders where that youthful hope disappeared..

nice wording.
