I was walking down the street of rainbows and sunshines. The very street where everything seems possible and life is a fairytale.
Well, there are little rains and sometimes downpour but every chapter ends with a happy ending.
The time came that I had to step into a new world--- full of strangers, of darkness and cruelty. However, I saw it almost like a utopia. I hid the royalty in me and choose to start from scratch.
One day, I came across a stranger along a dark alley. Aloft, alone, and bringing dark clouds with him. I smiled at him but got no reply. I only saw ice and sorrow in his eyes.
I remember that time, I was glowing with light while you were stuck in the dark pits of brokenness. I heard your cries and stories of hell and how you attempted to end it. You asked why such a fresh, innocent soul glows with much optimism.
I told you that life is the very reason to continue living. I told you there are more reasons to live: that there's beauty, there's happiness. There's love.
