i believe that words have a majestic power over me.
a single phrase from a show/book,
that one-liner from a dear friend,
a lyric taken off from a song,
or maybe even excerpts from an online buddy's multiply.
life has mysteries in which we have yet to unravel,
apparently i find the answer through words and less of its experiences.
there are times when i feel like punching the wall,
just to feel that exhilaration of pain, where it erases out my numbness.
then somehow with the grace of The Almighty,
i stopped because i would remember a phrase/a lyric/a prayer
and i would sit, curled up in that little corner to think about it for a moment.
so literally, i would forget what i was supposed to do
and just try to immerse truly in my train of thoughts.
collin raye's playing on my mini ipod,singing out to me:
...Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didnt we love, didnt we share
Or dont you even careI know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know...
"sometimes you try so hard to carbon copy yourself on every page in the book, only to find out the ending has already been written, with no space left for you to even squeeze in. "yes shafik, you're right.
told you, words have a magical impact on me.
now my night won't be so smooth afterall.
sighs.
