the girl stood in the corner. yet again she heard the reprimandings from her mother. why was she unable to perform well. why could she not satisfy her mother. she saw how her mother worked to her bones to feed their family of four. her two sisters were smart , intelligent was the word.she was the black sheep. she snapped back to reality. she would prove her mother wrong.
years went by and she did well. she achieved what she wanted..

a girl stands in a corner.she lives in a house.her family is not well to do but they are able to survive.her mother screams at her.she looks deep in her mother's eyes and surprisingly find the reason for the years of scoldings.the mother wants the girl to achieve what she had not achieved. do what she had not done. her mother wants her dreams to shine and to happen to her daughter.

the girl stands in the corner shaking.her exam paper lies on the floor.her mother's dreams have flown out of the window.normally she would be crying , beging for forgiveness. this time. its was different. no more tears. she stood there. eyes of defiance staring wildly at her mother.

the girl has dreams . hopes. wishes . wants. but things don't usually go the way we want it to. she dreams of dreams that she knows will be hard to achieve. determination drives her on. but what is her purpose.







its been forever since i last knew myself.
when did u last see the smile on my face
its all just another facade.
don't u agree.
we just live in a world of our own. who can proclaim that one is truely not self centred.
we see but we don't see ourselves.
we help but we never help ourselves.
man sin
we know we sin
but everytime we know
we do it yet again
is it a weakness we have within







the boy aged 16 he says.i live for today i forget yesterday and i don't think about tomorrow.
how happy and how far can one go living like this.
certainly he is doing well.
but will it be temporary or long term.


set goals and targets.
the teacher preaches.
what drives us.
really.if i knew what drives me.
i think i would not be stuck. being the bouncing blue dot. trying to reach the red X
