Enthralled

By: erica retuya

 You’re so close to me but still so far away. Every time I tried to reach you I always felt that there’s a wall that repels me. Every time I tried to talk to you, I always felt the pain that pierces my heart directly. All I hope is to get to know you better. I am trying to suppress my feeling all this time. What is it that I’m lacking off? Sometimes I wanted to hide in the depths of the world in shame.

Once in a while I was quite lost in a deep thought wondering if fantasy exists in the real world how would we react. A little while I thought maybe that’s how the real world works. Work harder and you’ll obtain it even though others of us were tempted by the evil force to do evil schemes.

Alas, as I was walking across the road I kept seeing an overpass that connects both ends of the path which made our life at ease when transferring from one end to the other end. I realized that maybe I was lacking of courage that I can call myself a coward and so I think that no matter what happens there’s still a bridge that connects the both of us like a twosome.

I never imagined that in every hardship there’s always a small hint of hope whether it is related to work, school, knowledge, money, business and every problem that you can mention right now. Be yourself, as others say there’s no wrong in making mistakes. In fact we learn from our mistakes. Now I must say farewell to my shyness and say hello to self-esteem and confidence. You may be far away right now but still I must walk that overpass in order to reach you in no time. I must be delighted that God lead me in a rightful path and prevent me from following the orders of the evil. Furthermore I was enthralled by you that is why I never lose hope.
