Thoughts
When I was little, I use to think to myself what I wanted to do when I grow up
Now that time is slowly creeping up to me
I cannot escape it
I cannot deny it
I remember the days back in my memories where I would stare at the trees
The leaves still as my body leaning on the balcony
The green colour and the gentle breeze in the air would ease my pain of searching for purpose
I promised to myself I would make something of this life
Find love
Find passion
Find a purpose in life where I can live in peace
Protect the person that I love
Protect everything with my own hands
As a man, I'm willing to carry all the burden of this world onto my shoulders
Carry all the burden of my loved ones
To find that sense of dignity a true man should have
The protector
The provider
The one who's there to give
I want to go to a river bank and just lay there for a while
Stare up into the night sky and wonder
I try to keep optimistic
To be honest this world is just too frightening
A person is so powerless at the times where he/she needs to be strong
My heart and soul drifts into my alter reality
Searching for that tranquility and peace
I need strength
I want to be able to look into my hands and see power
Not a pair of pale hands slowly withering away into age
And die as the time passes
Ahh~ the sound of the rain is filled in my head
I don't even know what's reality anymore
I just feeling like pouring my heart out for someone
For the person I truely love
How I wish I was more of a man for her
Many times I really wanna apologise to her heart
Apologise for being spineless when she needs a man to stand tall and steady
I want to take her away from this reality for a moment
And into mine
So that we can drift together aimlessly not caring what our destination was
But enjoying the journey together
Where she would not be alone
To be that kind person beside her where she seeks comfort
I don't want to hurt her anymore
I don't want her to hurt anymore
I want to understand the mysteries of this world
I want to be able to help people instead of reading their problems
Powerless to act
I know that what I write at this moment will only exist in this very frame of time
Tomorrow will be a new day
And I will forget this feeling of regret that's trapped under my skin
I will live on and be the person that I'm known as to everyone that's around me
Waiting for this inner self to resurface again
Til that time comes my way once more
I will sleep and rest my mind
And let myself drift in infinity
And find the peace I wanted
Even if it's for one night
I want to live~

I love it. Written wonderfully and even though I'm not as good with English as most, i can get feeling out of the writing. One sujestion, the part with "he/she" broke the trace of the writing. maybe come up with something else. just he or something. but not the he/she, it broke the rading to much

they will keep coming if people like to take the time and read it XD
I like to revolve around the idea of life and the things we come across
i've seen and met alot of people from the time i was born
and there's so many questions left unanswered
only way to express that curiosity that's driving me nuts from time to time is by writing
so yea, i got one posted soon :)

I finally found the time to read this. Honestly, I don't know how much this means to you, but I just need to say that, I have found myself wanting to do a lot of the things you write in here, like going somewhere (maybe not a river bank but yeah) to look at the stars. Where I live, I can't necessarily go onto my roof. And some other things, but I don't feel like boring you. Honestly, thank you for posting this, I needed this at this time.
