I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening
Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine "
We sang on the top of our voices. We sang without caring if the neighbours heard us, if we were off key, if we lost our voices.
Completely surrendered to the song and to Sheryl Crows view on life.
It felt nice that somebody famous could be so relatable. If thats a word.
And of course, we were not on nicotine.
We all knew that we'd have to go back to our "life" but it felt good to be away from it. Not to be mistaken as depressed. We didn't have anything to be seriously unhappy about. But we were tired. Tired of explanations, tired of thinking of answers, tired of planning, and tired of wondering why it had to happen to us.
We didn't care about "what-if"s. We had silenced those by honesty.
We didn't care about "could have"s. We had the answer.
We didn't care about learning a lesson. We knew how it was taught.
We didn't care about anything we usually cared about.
And we knew we'd probably care too much about not caring too.
The tough thing about life is, going through a same set of emotions which you truly believed you would never have to go through again. It's like telling the same stories, wearing a different dress.
The only difference is, good or bad still undecided, we knew we'd sail through it. We knew that certain things can not be changed through the power of will. And certain things can not be expressed through the power of words.
And we certainly knew, that it was never easy to know if you had done the right thing or not.
We knew that, besides having each other, we'd have to reunite with a lost friend, Faith, again. And we prayed that Hope would not mind too much. We made a great team.
"You guys make me have so much fun" said one of us.
The song had changed.
"
Even if it's a lie, say it will be alright,
And I shall believe....

That woman does know all.

nice read... :D
send this to praj for ping! it's really good.
I don't know why, but this post reminds me of "Life is beautiful". Roberto Benigni always maintains that life is not a compromise, we make it so.
Instead of escaping life for only a few moments, try the other way round, live in it only for a few moments!.. and life becomes truly beautiful!
probably thats why I'd always want to remain a kid, they don't think, they live!
(kasla sahi lihites tu.. the wait was worth it :) )
Hey, you say that about me too! A complete kid!
It's true... We do make life about rules, compromises. It's nice to know people like the whole feeling of "being fancy free"
Always appreciate your comments!
Makes writing worth while ;)
More power to you mitzie, more power to you .. !
