Free From Dream



When I was young
I used to pretend
Like I was a bird
Singing the songs to be heard
But it was heard by none

When I was thirteen
I started to sing
I thought myself as rock star
Who never knew how to play guitar
But my dream was to be a rock and roll king

When I was forty
I sailed my ship to sea
When I saw the sun hit the ocean floor
I smiled cos I found what I adored
It was nothing but I got to know I was free finally

I was simply born on the wrong side of the world. I spent half of my life to find out what I was really passionate about. I started writing since I was 13 but I only shared those with my friends. Sometimes I wondered why I was really into arts and literature while my degree for career was purely business management. I always regard myself as realistic but my imaginary twin is a writer and I got to draw the line between my real world and my imaginary world. Living in my imaginary world means writing. I found different personalities in me whenever I write. It doesn't matter if I write my story, my life, my thoughts or poems. Whenever I am lost, I write and try to find myself. I just try to dig inside my thought and ask who I want to be, what personality I want to adapt. It works every time cos writing always makes me forget my real world and live in my own paradise. Period! more…
