BLANK PAGE

By: youkai no kira

A/N: this is a chapter in the Stream of Thoughts series. I write chapters based on reader’s input. Basically, you give me a phrase or a word when you review and I’ll write a chapter of my opinions on that topic. Please enjoy my Stream of Thoughts.

I WANT TO BE POECTIC TODAY. LIFE IS LIKE A BOOK. WE WANT TO SKIM THROUGH THE PAGES AND HURRY INTO THE FUTURE THAT WE PLAN TO SET; NOT CARING WHAT THE WORDS SAY OR MEAN. WE SOON GET INTO A CHAPTER OF OUR LIFE, WHICH TROUBLES US AND SOON BECOMES TOO COMPLICATED FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. SO WITHOUT THINKING, WE TURN THE PAGE, HOPING TO FIND ANSWERS. SEEING THAT WE CAN’T FIND ANY ANSWERS, WE REALIZE THAT THE PAGE IS BLANK. IT’S LIKE HAVING WRITER’S BLOCK ON YOUR BEST DAY. YOU’RE JUST WAITING, HOPING, YOUR PEN IN HAND, SHAKING ABOVE THE BLANK PAGE, ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO COME. YOU’RE JUST WAITING FOR ANSWERS TO SLAP YOU IN THE FACE, WHEN THE ANSWERS TO YOUR PROBLEMS WERE ALREADY IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU JUST HAVEN’T PAYED ATTENTION. YOU JUST HAVEN’T WRITTEN THEM DOWN YET. YOU JUST DIDN’T REALIZE THEY’RE THERE. YOU BECOME FRUSTRATED AND SLAM THE BOOK SHUT IN ANGER, THROWING IT AWAY…THROWING YOUR LIFE AWAY. YOU OPEN YOUR EYES AND REALIZED THAT YOUR LIVING ON THE STREET, IN A BOX, SURROUNEDE BY PEOPLE WHO DON’T CARE. YOU CRY SILENTLY, WISHING THAT SOMEONE WOULD HEAR YOU, WISHING THAT YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE CLOSED THAT BOOK AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED THAT CHAPTER OF YOUR LIFE.
