(Parents sit on sofa.Girl enters in a rush)
Girl: Hey Mum,hey Dad! Look,I just got a call from my friends. I know it's kinda last-minute,but can I just go hang out and you know,chill?
Dad: No.
Girl: Aww...come on...I mean,it's the start of June...and it's just an outing! I'll be back before one a.m., promise!
Mum: ONE A.M.?! Young lady...
Girl: Okay...twelve p.m.? I won't be late,really!
Dad: NO.
Girl: But why? It's just one day...
Dad(sarcastically): One day? Are you sure? If I let you go this time,you will climb on top of my head and soon you will be going out EVERY day. Then you will start neglecting your studies and get retained at the end of the year.
Mum(salt-rubbing,as usual): Look at your marks for your econs test! 12/25! You failed,girl!
Girl(exasperatedly): It's not a fail,Mum. It's an E grade! This is 'A' levels,no longer 'O's...
Dad(flares up): You don't argue with your Mum and don't try to cheat us. You failed by a miserable half-mark! Disappointing! What have you been doing? Running and running and running...and you still dare to go out and "chill"? Simply asking for trouble!
Mum: Yeah,maybe you should just stop running completely. Look at you,always reaching home so late at night,falling asleep before you can finish doing your work,and you have become so black! Too much running under the sun already. It's time to stop all these nonsense and study for your 'A' levels!
(Girl feels the world crashing down around her)
Sorry guys,for fucking up and "pang-sehing" at the last moment...I'm unable to overcome these strong barriers myself *sighs* Looks like June is going to be super empty...no outings,no chalets,no fun. Just mug mug mug...and trainings everyday(provided if THEY still allow me to go) except Thursdays and Sundays. I'm not going to cave in,I'm still going for training no matter what THEY say. They can't stop me from living my life...they can't take away what matters most to me. And...I will find ways to sneak out of the house,even if it means just a few hours spent with my friends...it's worth all the reprimandings.
A depression so deep it finds a way into the Soul,
and travels through every pore of your Heart.
A depression so large it encompasses every bit of your Reality,
and leaves Reality a cloudy memory.
A depression so dense it compresses every will you once had,
and bows you down to accept it as it's own.
A depression so devious it takes you piece by piece,
and consumes each piece day by day.
A depression so truly disheartening,
and leaves you no other emotions.
A depression so dangerous,
it slaughters,
everything,
inside,
of you.
Argh! I guess I had enough of all that shit. It's not worth mulling over and killing millions of brain cells in the process...I have to stay strong and focus on happier stuff. Did 16km with Miss Ng only today(the number of people is seriously dwindling! oh man...Sarah! come train with me! miss ya lots,seriously...) and was made to whack the countless,endless slopes along the way, and to sprint the last stretch back to school! My goodness,slopes aren't meant to be whacked and sprints are not a constitution of long runs! *grimaces* Ahh,but in the end,it's still for the better and i will contribute to the final race(I kept telling myself that throughout the run).
Freedom wins
freedom falls.
Wisedom out lives it all.
Running,
pushing,
all the time.
This freedom yours
this freedom mine.
Stay strong and free! I can do it!
