the calm before the storm (1)

I stared off into the distance,
Intently watching the clouds.
Their edges were lit
By the golden sunlight
Of the rising sun.           
In my head
There played a sweet
And delicate melody
And my mind cleared.
I couldn't find the strength
To look away from the sky
And my eyes constantly

Tried to find the warm rays of the sunlight.

Oblivious Masks

I guess one of the reasons why school is somewhat scary is because of the so-called masks.
I mean, that girl? The one that cries everyday at school might as well be simply attention seeking and a really good actress.
That girl that cries before she goes to sleep every single night? She may appear to you as the most well adjusted person you have ever met.
That quiet person in the back? She's maybe the funniest girl you'd ever encounter.
And that sweet little girl? Maybe she's a perverted poser.
That girl who always is acting like a kid? Maybe she's just stuck there 'cause she had no one to lead her on.
That rude bitch? She's just honest and maybe even a bit nice.
That outcast who's annoying and asks a lot of questions? Maybe she's extremely talented.
You know that queen bee? Maybe she just is that close with her friends to appear as a clique leader.
That popular kid with blonde hair? Maybe she's a shy girl and is really nice and relatable.
That person who cheats? Maybe she genuinely thinks she's helping.
That girl who is outgoing? Maybe she actually has friends who love her just the way she is.
That person who steps back in class? Maybe she's just a lazy ass girl.
That girl who's really clingy? Maybe she's just really lonely and wants your friendship.
That girl who's in the popular clique? Maybe she's quite a caring person.
That person who squints her eyes at you in a provoking manner? Maybe she's just trying to recognize her friends and enemies between the masses.
That girl who's crazy and always laughing, saying jokes that aren't funny? Maybe she's more messed up than you'll ever know and needs the laughs.
That girl who's nice to everybody and sweet and cute? Maybe it's just a facade to hide her competitive side.
That girl who snaps at everybody? She might be actually really helpful.
That kid who's wild and weird? Maybe she's fighting really hard to not lose herself.
That fan-girling squeaky person? Maybe, just maybe, she has feelings too and is more understanding than you know.
That girl who gives advice to everyone and makes everyone laugh? Maybe she's speaking of personal experience and has been this lonely, this sad before.
And you know that girl who's cursing all the time? Maybe it's her only way of expressing herself.
You know that kid who's always asking about how she looks? Maybe she's just really insecure.
You know that girl who asks stupid question? Maybe she's just curious and is actually really cool.
Maybe I was wrong in all of the interpretations I made but these are just the glimpses of truth I managed to catch while observing.
