that big step into life

im finally done i think.
with lectures and exams all behind me.
done with boring tutorials (yes… theres a reason why I slept sooo much in class)
done with yucky canteen food.

as i take the leap into life,
as much as i can plan and plan,
i really wonder what exciting challenges await me.

will i be the next nobel prize nominee?
will i be the next grammy award winner?
or will i just be the next person who comes by and touches your heart?

whatever the future holds, im ready to take that leap i guess.
cos someone once said,

“being a winner is not how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit over and over and still have the strength to stand up after that!”

brilliant isn’t it? a lesson about life in a movie.

well the worsts not over yet.
still have to pass my jap exam before i can join the ranks of those before me.
those who don the blue cape and look absolutely smart.
professing to the world, that im coming to make my mark.

watch out world, here i come!

to the one i call my little one

to the one i call my little one,
im really sorry for all the things ive done.
to the one i call my little one,
you really didn’t deserve any of this, to be exact, none.

im sorry i did those things behind,
im sorry i betrayed you.
im sorry i didn’t stand in your shoes,
im sorry, i really am.

if only time could be undone, i’d go back to the day i was one.
i’d whisper in his ear so softly and gently,
telling him of all things to be done.

“love her with all your heart mind and soul,
hold on to her with all your might.
be daring with her, be bold you must.
look at her with conviction,
and then gently, tell her that we are one.

because anyone else doesn’t matter to you,
no one else will.
don’t waste your time searching high and low,
because from 13, you will know.”

don’t give up faith and hope.
don’t lose sight of what we have.
keep your head up again i say,
because world, here we come.

i don’t want us to turn into monsters. i don’t want to bring out the worst in us. its tough to forgive and even tougher to forget. im thankful for you, yesterday, today, tomorrow. hold my hand and walk with me, because im not letting go. i love you truly, my little one.
