Disguise

Note: Yesterday, an ice-cream truck (Whippy) came round the neighbourhood after school with that cool tune (all ice cream trucks have) playing through the street! I was so excited because I hadn’t heard one in yonks and it reminded me of my not so-long ago childhood where the ice-cream truck frequented the streets. Unfortunately, I didn’t get out of the house quick enough to catch up with it and get me an ice cream! -Warning! Notebook Series entry-(Descriptive!)

Watch me as I sink, I am falling through a deep void of shadows and unthinkables. Show me your confidence, the aspirations you once dreamed of, those budding ideas that signified you. Show me the laughter that used to reign over the land, hysterical and comical. The energy that was everlasting- now drained to the last trickle. A heart filled with excitement and eagerness for every day born. How could I plunge and dive to such a point?, I couldn’t even recall my own name.

Today I can cause those smile lines to appear on my anxiety-free face once again. I can jump as high as the trees can reach the stars and I can chatter away continuously to any poor soul who stumbled by me. My heart is now free of all impurities, beating against the joys of life and as I dream, I can dream of the mysteries of tomorrow, the adventures of the next week, month and year. And how did I discover myself again, out of the sink hole I had once tripped into?

I stood up, followed the road signs and climbed out.

The road signs, they are always there and almost always are wearing a clever disguise.
