a bit more

yet another untitled piece of work
by me

1
your soul slides out
your emotions slide in
they both intertwine
the thoughts within

pain hurt grief
sorrow tears...joy
hope within
burns like a fire
filled with the spirit

--
2
sometimes we feel like doing
just the opposite of what we should be doing
curiosity gives in to pain
all for the false hope of satisfaction
a slim chance
that would be overshadowed

broken pieces
of a shattered heart
glued together
and moulded, waiting...
to become a stronger,
more beautiful heart

--
speaking of the word 'beautiful', that was one of god's new year messages to me and it came through a very unlikely source, as was his other message. i'll explain more if i have the time and if i remember.

and by the way, this verse of a recent switchfoot song keeps ringing in my ears, if it's not being played back already, haha. food for thought:

"war and love become pedantic,
we wage love with a mistletoe."
--switchfoot, easier to love

p.s. speaking of which (and i know i'm repeating), i think i'm a pedant. cos i've started returning to my anal, pedantic self again this week which shows itself in school projects which i think can be done better. but at least i've been biting my lip and trying to hold back the perfectionist in me this time, cos i know it can get a bit annoying, judging from past experience last year with my sub-editing of our newspaper and magazine projects.

but what keeps me so particular is because i want the grades i guess. and if possible, i don't want to be dragged down by group members who are more of an "i just want to finish my duty, get it over and done with" type and don't seem to want anything more than a passing mark. and i'm saying this not only for this week but for my whole duration of studies here in general.
