Welcome To My Truth

Page 873

Unexpected events lead to... unexpected places.

At least that's how it felt today.

I found myself outside my primary school.

I stood there. Reminiscing my early days.

Everything was so different. Yet so nostalgic.

The school gate was open.

I saw soccer kids jogging around the field in the sun.

The pathway was new. I walked around the perimeters.

Passed by the carpark where I'd always wait for my Mum to pick me up.

 I remembered then. If she was a minute late, I'd get a weird feeling in my tummy. Like I'd lose her. And I was so scared of that. It was the worst nightmare.

I smiled to myself. What a silly innocent boy I was.

I continued strolling by the fence. 

The Garden.

That was where I'd spent most of my recess time.

I didnt mix around much with the rest of my classmates.

I preferred time alone. Enjoying the nature. Strolling by the pretty plants. The butterflies floating pass me. The smell of grass. It was my safe spot. I was.. in my own world then.

But it's changed now. Gone were the grassy areas, replaced by the concrete floor. I didnt know how to feel about it.

I walked to the end of the fence. There was a strange sense of belonging and peace.

The classrooms were dark. I can remember bits & pieces of it. Only faint memories.

I decided to go back, the route that I always took.

I walked passed some kids holding some school stuff, & they gave me a shy stare. I gave a faint smile.

They reminded me of me.

Sometimes, I wish I could be an innocent kid forever.

Gone were those days..

But I'm glad to share a bit of my past.

Welcome to my truth.

Love, Eran.

Current Song Mood: Anastacia - Welcome To My Truth

Sentimental days 
In a misty clouded haze 
Of a memory that now feels untrue 
I used to feel disguised 
Now I leave the mask behind 
Painting pictures that aren't so blue 
The pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned 

[Chorus:]
Somebody bring up the lights I want you to see 
(Don't You Feel Sorry For Me) 
My life turned around 
But I'm still living my dreams 
(Yes it's true I've been) 
I've been through it all 
Hit about a million walls 
Welcome to my truth.. I still love 
Welcome to my truth.. I still love 

Tangled in a web 
With a pain hard to forget 
That was a time that I've now put to rest 
Oh, the pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned 

[Chorus]

Sentimental days 
In a mist of clouded haze 
Of a memory that now feels untrue 

[Chorus]
