My Day

Every year towards the end of July, my company (the company I currently work for) holds an AGM (Annual General Meeting). This is one of my major task/ duties in my job description, putting together all the admin for this meeting.


Today is the day for this year! I consider this day, MY Day and the busiest day of my career every year that I have to run from start to finish. For the past 2 years, not all has run smoothly as wished and hoped for!!! Hmmm…hopefully this year those mistakes have vanished.

I have grown to be stronger and more organized than the past two years! And with all the help I am receiving from management and colleagues! I doubt if there will be room for floors…I hope not!

Well, talking about help from fellow colleagues and management. A question lingered in my head… are they doing this to help me!?! Or are they doing it because they feel that I am incompetent!?! … Hmmm, as I said- past two years were not so smooth!

What ever reason they might be putting a hand for, what matters most is the fact that THEY ARE PUTTING A HAND. They are helping, how I look at it- is not important but how I take it… will better my attitude and personal philosophy.

Today, I woke up early after sleeping very late… I probably slept in early hours before opening my eyes to the sound of my alarm going off few hours later. When I gazed on the mirror- I saw a selfish, aggressive and immature little girl and I was not impressed at all…I believe waking up with puffy eye bags and a pink eye is better than that!

I entered the bath tub with hopes and plans of washing off that ugly reflection that I saw earlier…

When I walked-in at the office… I felt better. The weather is cold, the office has not changed shape and there’s nothing visibly different about today but my Philosophy.

Today is no longer about the AGM…it is about changing my perspective.

Warning

I am Love's enemy-- the pain that never goes away, the destroyer of all that is good in your heart I take it you have now seen the monster that resides within, you have mingled and defined/ told apart the weak points from the good Your views from mine make me believe you to be right and i oh i now look down on myself with shame of the monster that i have become Allow me not to turn you into this beast i have become, run and run as far as you can. Hide and forget about my existence because this beast i so hate myself is still me I can not run but to stand and fight, I am in despair and denial I feel undeserving of anything great and pure For i have seen pure turn to dust and great turn to evil Why is the sun suddenly disappearing from my window- how is darkness falling upon me? Have i lost my guard? Is this pain self inflicted? or is the truth hard to swallow? Wake up rise and shine, the world awaits... no time for frowns and heartaches. why choose this soul out of so many?

I was starting school that year, I was scared as hell- come to think of it now- I have no idea what was so frightening?!? I remember getting lost after break trying to find my classroom- lol; I thought it was the end of the world. You don’t understand how frightening it is, to a five year old (turning six) to be in an environment full of people the same age screaming ,shouting, crying and just running loose. It was chaotic (I think my phobia of being in large groups of people started then) I came back from school that day to find my mom and a few of my uncles and aunties dancing with Joy, I still was in the dark (confused). Whilst at school, we did hear some commotion earlier that day and we ran to the classroom windows to see what was happening outside… I ran to my room to put my school bag down and went to sit next to my mom; they were chatting and drinking in celebration. I played a guessing game in my head “is it my birthday today? No, there’s no cake, hmmm, is it my mom’s birthday...

The System

My heart, why you hurting so? What has brought upon you so much pain? As strong and flexible as you are I think you tried to hard and bent too far. My heart, what troubles you so? What has left you in such turmoil? As brave as you have been in the past, it seems that you won’t last. My feet, why do you drag me down so? What chain and ball is slowing you down? As fast as you have been to carry me through so many fires and devotion you have shown. My hands, why do you tremble so? What fear and pain has left useless? As magical as you have been with a pen and paper but now you are clueless. My hands, why you allow my syllabus leave me behind? What has left you disable? What work can be done if not completed buy writing it down with my hands, they are not able. My eyes, why do you cry so? What has disturbed your concentration and stolen you vision? As sharp and sparkling as you have always been in the past but now you show signs of depression. There is something wrong with the system, the ...
