Resolution/\niotuloseR

The hustle bustle of the city
Which I just want to get away from.

Neon lights,
Congested roads,

People rushing home from work
After a tired day with a smile on their face.

Why are they smiling? I asked myself.
"They long to be with their family after a long day"
Came a voice from the back of my mind.

I continued walking on.
The scenery changed to a park full with couples.
Kissing,
embracing each other.
Why are they smiling? I asked myself.
"They are happy to be with their partner"
Came the same voice.

Mixed feelings ensued.
Jealousy, pain, lonliness.
I begun to run.
Run as fast as my legs could take me.
Running till my lungs and legs finally gave up on me.
I finally collapsed to the floor.

Everything was black.
"Why am I running? I asked myself yet again.
This time, there came no answer.
I guess, it's up to me to find the answer by myself.

As I calmed down,
I remembered my family, friends and the one I loved.
What's the use of running around?

I sat up.
I remembered the reasons why people smiled.

I stood up, closed my eyes and screamed out loud.
Venting all my frustrations and anger in that one scream.

Out of breath, I stopped and opened my eyes.
A mirror was infront of me.
A smile was on my face.

Why was I smiling? I asked myself.
"To a continue living for a better future ahead"

This time, the voice came from me.
