Awakening...

I saw...yet I see through it...
I heard...yet I just keep on listening...
I did not pretend I did not see it...
I did not pretend I did not hear it...
That's just it...
I just let it happened...
Again...
...and again...


It was the 29th of December 2008...
Something happened that day...
Something that had happened before...
Something that finally resulted in a drastic decision...
Something that made my nerve snapped harder than before...
The catalyst for the things that I should have done before...
A long long time ago...


So I've decided...that's it...
So I've decided...this is it...
I've decided I do not want to be that person again...
I've decided I do not want to be in that position again...

...last year I was this...
...slow and steady...
...miss goody two shoes...

...this year I am this...
...colourful as colourful can be...
...roaring and ready to rock and roll...

I have to bear in mind tho' that things won't go my way as fast as I wish...
I have to bear in mind tho' that things won't be the way I want it to be right away...
I guessed what has been said all this while is true...
It is a virtue indeed...
...that is what it is ...
All I need to do...
All I have to do now...
...is just be patient...

A new dawn...

At the blink of the eye...
It was yesterday...
At the blink of the eye...
It was no longer there...
At the blink of the eye...
It was gone forever...


Never to come back...
Never to be seen again...
Never to be heard again...


...time...
indeed...
...wait for no man...


The new dawn of a new era some would perceive it...
The new dawn of a new chapter some would say it...
The new dawn of a new beginning some would see it...


For me...
...a whole lot of new found determinations...
...a whole lot of new found strengths...
...the ones that I thought I do not possess...
...the ones that I thought was insignificant...

...shining through...

I am now ready...
...to face life's darkeness...
I am now ready...
...to face life's challenges...
I am now ready...
...to face life's offerings...


Adieu 2008...
...thank you for the memories...

Greetings 2009...
...thank you for your new promises...
...I am ready...
...come what may...
