Long time ago,
A pure soul felt lonely,
Living by the advices & the standards set by his parents , he saw his ‘friends’ walk away..
Why? Because he lived what long ago was called a coward’s life..
Always a topper, never skipped a class..
He was constantly praised by his teachers & parents..but to his eyes, it was still a lonely & boring life..
All his classmates mocked him for being so nerdy, a loser is what he was called even though he was brilliant..
He was so desperate that he wanted to look cool so he started observing..
The outlaws..
The ones who did not care about anything but having fun..those are the people his world was giving attention to..
The ‘cool’ girls? They didn’t even notice him..
How would they?
He was far from being cool..
Trying to look cool,
That pure soul decided that he was going to change his life!
Using the pocket money his parents provided him with, he bought cigarettes..
He started to mingle with those cool boys!
For the first time in his life..he was being seen..
But he wanted more than more!
He loved that attention..
He started drinking, whether it was inside or outside school..why would he care? He was now cool enough to be seen and admired!
Daring! Bad boy! Wow! His circle was growing and the ‘cool’ girls were craving him!
Results dropped, thrown out of school..
But his ‘friends’? They were still there..
No school? Totally freedom..
They started to do little jobs to make money to continue their cool life..
They were the rich guys, everyone at their age admired them🔥
They were living their best life with their own money🔥
More money meant more pleasure..
Cigarettes? Alcohol? Too cheap!
Drugs!? Why not?
It looked so cool in movies!!
**** ******* LSD!
A whole new world it was!🔥
Those were expensive..but hey?
Who cares? They were on top of the world!🔥
Boom! Then came his twenties..
His ex classmates finished their studies, had good jobs & were being admired!
They were the new cool men and ladies!
Confidence? Shattered..
Body? Pushed to its limits..
“If only I knew…I could have been there with them..”
He tried to get back up and give himself a second chance..too late..he was already a prisoner to this dark world and it was only getting darker..
No longer cool..lonely again..he remembered his parents..the same parents he neglected..
Those are whom he really wanted to be with..
Ashamed of how he treated them and who he became, he never gathered enough courage to face them again..
Everywhere he went, people called him a loser..a coward..even though he was once brilliant..
The only ones who he thought could understand him..were the ones like him..
It kept getting darker and darker..until finally that pure soul drowned himself where no one could ever reach him..

This world has no pity for those who fall..don’t ever give up on yourself and don’t live a life to impress others..that’s the trap..always listen to your parents because they are the ones who only wish what’s best for you..be grateful for that life you have..you have that power to make it better daily! It’s never too late..get up and fight for your place again!
