SURELY

"If I could be any dream that you want, any dream will do, any dream I'll become."

"If I could be a light in your shadow, to show you the way, a light I'll be one."

"If I could be a stranger in a bus, alone in this world, unknown to everyone. It could have been any other way, but if I really am, will you walk with me, and talk to me, and laugh with me? Surely I am someone, don't take it away from me. Give me my time, I know I'm awake. Be with me, hold on to my hands, surely I am someone, don't take it away from me. Be kind. I know I'm awake. Sure I am someone."

I'll like to tell you what I think. I would like to think that I am not gifted. Neither am I rich with intelligence. But One thing's for sure, I know I'm hurt. This past week has been so messed up to the point it isn't even worth mentioning no more. But today, finally, I see the difference. I'm finally taking a real breather. No backlogs, no offenses, no urgency.

And I started this brand new week with a pork chop down with mushroom sauce. Twenty bucks worth, just to half-crying tell myself everything's gonna be okay.

There was this once, when I was training in Thailand, the bus taking us to the airport made a pitstop. We got off, and it was just this huge giant gas station with a restaurant that overlooked miles of dusty land. And since, I've only written Surely based on that.

I felt like crying. But tears. So dry.
