Restlessness #3
Must have been life knocking me down again.
Or not again, but I am expecting another blow perhaps.
Since when I started giving up? Of course I am too naive to expect a positive outcome out of my every effort. Or may be just that my efforts are just too much. I am 'overdoing' things and exhausting myself to the last breath because that is what I want...
Perhaps....
Yes, I want life to give up on me, surrender me before death.

Well, if that's what you really want to or trying hard at that, keep trying, and try hardest. But if it still doesn't work out or if all the efforts go futile and you still are living, then don't look back at all. Never.

and there is a brand new day at hand :)
:) Well said
DeleteWow. This was such a stunning reversal of roles, especially in the end line. I can't remember when was the last time I felt so surprised. Don't worry, I am not over-exaggerating.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of us giving up on life has been used so many times. While I was reading your work, I kind of expected much the same. But no. You took the same old, rusted image, interchanged the roles and presented a very contrasting picture to the reader, one of hope. When life would finally give up and release you from its suffocating grip, before you take a final breath, to know true freedom.
At least that's how I interpret it. Beautiful, stunning post. Loved it. :)
That was what I tried to explain! I am glad you liked it :)
DeleteIt is an honor to be praised by such an excellent writer like you!
Thank you :)
Life can be difficult, it will batter you and leave you with hatered inside you but if we give up, we lose everything. And sooner or later there is something to come out, not something bad, but something so wonderful that it's worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteI hope it doesn't comes out like a cliche. But we can't give up that thread of hope, life hasn't been all nice with me lately but well I am a born optimist and can't help it!
I guess the back to back downfalls, fruitless efforts has caused so much agony that I have stopped hopping or believing for anything good to sprout. In the end, all I have is a so called new morning with same old aching life!

But I do agree with you. I will ... try to look for the bright side, even if it is tiniest dot like beam I'll grab it. Just pray it is there!
Take care :)
