the student

sometimes i'm afraid to go home
i'm afraid of all the possible things i may hear when i'm at home
n they are all things which i can't control
there's no way that these things going to have an end
maybe the only way out is for the person involved to die
maybe then, the troubles could be gone

once a family
now no more
the agony
the unhappiness that has enveloped the 'family'
the humiliation that had to be suffered

the real time experience
can't just be taught in any books that u can pick up from the bookstores
nor can it be imparted to just anyone
i suppose
u have to be in my shoes to know it

daniel is sick n tired of all these
cycles after cycles
month after month
drags on into years of troubles
like a war-torn country recovering from its post-war times

everyone is tired
yet it keeps on coming
but sooner or later,
no one will feel tired anymore
cos we will not be around anymore
n i look forward to that very day
