Everybody’s Watching.
You wake up in the morning. It’s too early and too cold to get out of bed. But you get up anyway, switch on the heater, brush your teeth, bathe and get dressed. You eat hurriedly and rush out to get to work. On the way, you sit alone, listening to music on your iPod. You think about how fucked up this life is. You think about how lonely your existence is. What are you doing that you love to do? You’ve been searching for love, and all you’ve found is lust. The days are pointless. The nights are too long, too dark, too damn lonely. Existence is burden. Heart-broken, you find yourself wishing for death, because surely, the afterlife has more to offer.
And then suddenly, you smile. Everybody’s watching.

it’s beautiful….like all your writing, this one makes the reader stop and think….

That’s the whole point of most (all?) of my writing… to make people stop and think.

Kinda like the saying the grass is greener on the other side… Who knows maybe the afterlife will be just as bad or the same? How can we truly know what it will be like? When we get to the afterlife, what’s to say we wont long to have a life back?

I was actually trying to emphasize more on the very very last line… it shows how we sometimes hide our true feelings… irrespective of how fucked up we’re feeling, we always put on a brave new face to people, to try and make them think that everything’s just fine.

We talked about this one before and I mentioned that I understood it differently than you meant it. I looked at that last line and thought “everybody is looking at me! I exist! I am not along, but a part of this moment. Life is not that bad…my smile is real!”
I must have been having a real good day when i read that!

You know what I love about writing… everyone has their own understanding of what I’ve written. This same little post has meant different things to at least 3-4 different people. I love that!
