There were times when I used to look at my aquarium and
think how the fishes felt...being trapped like they are.....
There were times when I used to look at my birds and think
how it felt to have wings and yet not be able to fly...
Sometimes when I saw chained dogs I used to wonder how they
felt at having to struggle and fight for their freedom and yet fail at it.....
Sometimes when I saw broken hearts I used to wonder how bad
the pain would be to lose the person one loved....
Sometimes when my friends waited to meet their love I used
to wonder how the separation of a few moments could feel like years....
But now I know how it feels to be trapped with nowhere to
escape....I know how it feels to have your wings cut....I know how it feels to
struggle for freedom...’cause now am trapped....like a fish in an aquarium, a
bird in a cage, a dog in a chain....I have been chained in a destiny that I
wanted not, that I chose not......and I really wish I could break free from
this bond...But some things can never be broken....certain things cannot be
chosen....
I now know how it feels to have your heart broken....what it
means to be separated from your love....I know the hurt when your love is miles
away from you....I know the pain of waiting without knowing how long it
continues....
I have known it all....and I have matured...and somewhere
along the way I have changed....changed from a sweet innocent kid to a fighter
to a young girl broken by the ruthlessness of this world to a cold heart devoid
of any emotion....
And now I wonder which saying is correct....
“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER”
OR
“IGNORANCE IS BLISS”
‘cause ignorance kept me happy and bubbly and all knowledge
gave me was a self that I recognize not....knowledge has trapped me inside
myself...and no matter how hard I fight, I cannot free myself from within
me....
Love, dreams, friendship....I have lost them all on my way
to knowledge....so am I enlightened now or have I become more ignorant than
before???
Have I matured or am I just another emotionless fool in the
crowd???
And am I a winner or
am I another looser who thinks they have learnt how to live in this world???
I wonder...
annie... cheer up...
