Despite It All, Something's Within

Tuesday

With hard curled fists thrown wildly at the huge man's jaw, landing with soft thuds --- it was enough as finishing touches to end the dispute of even I have lost track as of where, what and how it had begun in the first place. It felt good to release the anger in me, despite of the pain on my sides wherein a beating it had suffered from my opponent, it still felt good for my mind was denying the stings my body was taking.
I could taste blood from my mouth, sending me to flung one last kick towards the motionless body that lay before me. Ptooey! Spit on you. Yup, add insult to injury. That's more like it. Curse you.
Then I couldn't deny myself but think, how was this a good idea to resolve something? I could've walked away and let it be. Damn.

Wednesday

Where am I? I climbed up on my legs. They wobbled under my weight. I can't get up! Something's keeping me down. It felt like there were hundred tons placed on my back. I turned my head as far as it could go. Nothing. Only the misty air. The sky was dark grey. I was confused. Was it day time or night? I really had no idea.
Cold wind hit my face. I felt hot stings on my face. AAAAARGH! Painful! Verrrrry painful! I slowly watched my face take form on the puddle of clear water that lay strewn in front of me. My eyes watched in horror as I saw what caused the unbearable pain. My face...my face bore holes the size of a thumb in diameter and must've been as deep as an inch or more. I could clearly see my wounds amidst the bloody mess.
I turned to look at the figure beside me, still down on all fours. It was a familiar face. It was my father's. Pop...Hey Pop!...he couldn't hear me. I followed the path his eyes led to. He was watching the full moon. Suddenly the moon started to spill water. Seconds before I could say anything, water buried my legs, then climbed my waist. I tried to pull my father. He was rock solid as if he was a statue stuck on the floor. I looked around, everyone were in the same catatonic state. The water was now up to my neck. I couldn't see anything.
A face suddenly appeared before mine. It was someone I knew but I couldn't remember who. There was a freaky smile on her face. Her face suddenly wrinkled and as slowly as it had appeared, she transformed into an old lady. What's going on? My face still felt the stings. Hot hot hot. The water was scalding hot. What's going on!?!
This is judgement day, she said with the smile still on her face.

I woke up all wet with sweat, some trickled on my face and back. Despite the cold I was furiously sweating. I gasped for air as I shot up wide awake. My head whirred. I was dazed. With every breathe I caught, it choked me. I grabbed my covers and clung to it like a child. I was trying to make sure it was all a dream. I started wishing I was a child again. To be able to run to my parents to ask for assurance that it was all a bad dream. I silently prayed. Not for myself, but for my parents. I curled myself still at the end post corner of my bed.

Thursday

I hate being stuck. Not being able to get out of the house. After the busy days I've had enrolling at school, its time to await the day of the first for classes. Boredom, it tires me. Its too hot. It would probably rain later...but that would make it hotter than it already is. I'd rather feel too cold than be all hot. Maybe I'd go to the beach. It's just nearby. But I hate everything that's over rated. Like the sunset. I love the beach. I just hate the other reasons being there other than the clear cold waters. Its too early to go...but might be too late to decide to go. Stuck.

Friday

It rained again today. As usual. And this goddamned jeep ain't moving. Oohh...what's that up there? Yeah, the sky. Strange...it looked so beautiful. So still like a painting. All with its blue and purplish night sky while the sun's down going. It suddenly occured to me that it has been a long long long time since I've taken the time to stare and watch the sky up there. I've forgotten its beauty. Wow...its just amazing. From now on I'll be watching you. Yup. From now on I will catch every show. Is that a bunny!?!

That was a very intense entry. For a moment, I imagined I was that scary lady declaring Judgement Day.

Some of the greatest battles of life are fought within the self.

Allah bless you, bro.

The dream wasn't as scary as it was when I dreamt it, but then you just can't recreate something as chilling.

As for the scary lady, I still can't remember who she was.

maybe its better to not recall who the lady was.. and i agree... that was quite intense...

battles with ones self are the best battles ever.. u always come out of it much wiser and with some kind of accomplishment..

Do i sense some changes coming along?? do i sense mayb changes within?? or mayb this is a sign that gates to a change in life has been opened... (11:11) :P yes i had to squeeze that in somewhere :P

as odd as it may sound... i sometimes miss my battles with myself.. but i am in no way asking for a challenge.. i'll just be content in what i've got. i know life will throw something at me soon enough.. it never fails.

i keep thinking of that dream u had... and cant help but remember a dream that ihad... over and over.. about my family and i traveling in the car.. at night.. making our way down the road and passing a HUGE tower like building.. i remember it being golden like in color from the bright lights shining on it.. i remember it being xtremely high.. i remember straining my neck as we drove by it just to look all the way up and see how high it really does go.

I've always wondered what that kind of building it was.. and what it cud mean in my dream... then i eventually stopped havin that dream and i forgot about it, until today.. when i accidently stumbled upon someone's picture of a city on facebook.. that picture showed a building under construction.. that resembled that building in my dream so friggin much that i stopped breathing for a few secs and wondered if what i was lookin at was real or not.

the girl labeled it (al mamlakah) i dont know where this is.. i've never heard of it b4.. is it even in saudi? or is it in dubai?

I thot if i shud msg the girl and ask her.. but she isnt on my friend list and it wud be quite weird to ask her where the location of the building is...

bah!.. whatever..

so what cloud shapes have u seen lately? anything i wud enjoy?

DeVille said...

dreams are weird...its something i'd be dying to understand.

AphroditeShari said...

dont we all?? i believe dreams can mean so much.. i dont believe that they are just made up thots or fantasies of a person.. my dreams wud be much more pleasant.. either that or i am SERIOUSLY messed up and nobody cud fix me :P

dont worry adnan *HUG* things will get better.

just dont talk about bad dreams.. talking about bad dreams isnt a good thing at all. ok?
