Nowhere

By : micheyetakata

Time never rest;

always on the move 

so beware 

if you are not aware 

it might slipped out from your grasp–

you lost time 

Then all at once, 

present become past 

future become present 

you become past 

he become present 

us no longer exists 

Pile of dreams shattered 

into dust and nowhere to be

found, nowhere to be 

reminisced, nowhere 

I can find you again, nowhere–

we lost and vanished 

together with the time

 

Support System

By: Nana

         

     Coming from the story of an ordinary human being, just like you. She is currently an extra in other people's stories but remains optimistic with her convictions. She sometimes dreams of becoming the world's main character and surrenders to the world's harshness. Maybe those currently walking in the void while believing that "God exists." filled every footstep walking with doubts. she  could say that he almost gave up on his life, and finally, the word 'almost' became the word 'often.'

    Who was born initially in a cypress family, in the end, had to feel heartbroken by a daughter's 'first love.' Does she care? Maybe in other people's eyes, he doesn't care. But does anyone know? She whispered to her pillow on a third of the night. She shared her tears with her hoarse voice, which was almost desperate. The heartbreak left an invisible scar on her soul. She allows her soul to be consumed by a pain that doesn't even have a cure. How can she trust others when her 'first love' left this invisible scar? How did she survive? When she looks in the mirror, she again says, "is it me"? Why can I survive" many have dialed even though she doesn't understand; why can she survive?

    Other people might interpret the support system as another human who provides support, but not for her. She can survive because of the non-human support system she has. Dreams, ideas, ego, and even revenge can be a sound support system for the right people. Where she can now survive is no longer for his family, no longer for her friends but really for her life. To defend her ego, achieve her goals, and prove that she can be without the mental destroyer under the guise of family. Is she selfish? What is more important than yourself? What is more valuable than yourself? Are there people who are not selfish? If she doesn't think about himself, does anyone else think about him?

    It was a long journey to get to this point. The point where she wanted to share the story through short writings that might mean nothing. When she looked back, she was so proud of himself that she got through it all. All can not be separated from the role of the burdened support system. The struggle to pursue the dream of a bachelor's degree at the end of her name did not take away from it. The effort to maintain sanity in which her environment asks her to get away from the world quickly. what can she do without this support system? she might go crazy without her support system.

    Maybe the support system is standard. Perhaps I'm exaggerating if I say, "the support system is one of my sanity saviors." Could imagine if he did not have a support system. What will he hope for if he has no ego, dreams, ideals, and pain if he does not have them? Maybe he wouldn't be writing now, and possibly his name was engraved on the tombstone instead of the college degree he dreamed of.

    Everyone's support system is different. Maybe for her, the support system doesn't have to be human, but if, for you, your 'support system' is human, keep it. A support system may be a trivial thing that is often spoken about but not seen. The support system may be there, but you don't feel it. One decision today is a new step tomorrow.
