Truth is~
I think of life to be fruitfully beautiful,
with the right dose of -
love, chaos, simplicity, eccentricity and paradox.
"'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life."
Most of all,
I'm pretty normal...you know? ^^

Read estel's blog and AAARRGGHHH~~~~~!!! Her entry was about WAR!!!
Don't get me wrong. It's not the thought of war that kills me, I have already accepted the fact that Singapore might be a potential target of terrorists because it only takes one bomb =X But the fact that I've been injected war poems written by this toopid Wilfred Owen for more than half a year during literature lessons that sometimes I wish I could cut off Adolf Hitler's other ball to make myself feel better =D
But still, not ALL poems are detestable. I do like a couple of them though =) These lines are my favourite...
"...These men are worth your tears.You are not worth their merriment."- Apologia pro Poemate Meo(Directed to those ignorant of the destructiveness of war and actually supported sending men off to fight in it.)
I think poems which adopt an overly complex and indirect language are dreadful to read. Bleah. Sometimes, simple terms and unfanciful words are what drive the message in.
If sadness cascades into your heart,
and lingers in doleful morass.
If happiness falters in shroud,
and leaves before grazing your brow.
Tell yourself...
This too, shall pass.
