Thoughts of a Million Stars

Every Child

Once upon a time, there was this little kid showered with love and prosperity. Guarded by everybody, protected from every harm that even no insect should touch her skin. She lived though as like a princess, with such innocence, she smiled and laughed and cry with purity. Loved by everybody just like what every child would want to be. She's never envious for she already had the things she wanted the most, attention, care, and of course, love. She's like living in the cloud 9, her parents was so loving towads her, her relatives were racing off their feet just to get her for at least an hour. Friends and the neighborhood were fond of her, though she asked for nothing. She was so happy back then, just like what every child would wanted to be. Her every intention was pure, clear and sincere. Her perspective in life was good and delightful. She was never afraid to try new things for she new that there are people behind to back her up just in case she falls. She was never afraid to show off her smiles for she knew that every act they made was true and that there is something to smile for. She was though never afraid to cry for she knew that she would not be discrimminated and regarded as a weak if she does cry.  A very loving, cheerful, joyous, caring and such a grateful kid just like what every child should have been is what she is, for once. People have given her so much happiness that she wanted to give back and make them happy as well. She's running with honors, involved in legions and even dared to joined pageants making her the apple of the eye. As a reward, she was brought to theme parks and malls for almost every week. She does things that anybody would not expect her to do so. She even played sports and tries her very hard studying but of course she enjoys it as well. She was so loved by all due to her manners and ways that even with the unknown elders, she acknowledges and greets. She had a great time having a seemingly picture perfect life just like what every child would have dreamt to have. Until one day, she just woke up and thought she had entered a wrong world, locked up in other's identity and is having her worst nightmare. In school, where she's always beaten up and cries a lot butu manages to keep smiling only not to show the burden, at home where everybody seemed lost and that eveything is broken because of fights and arguments. At the neighborhood where all she could hear were gossips, discrimminations and demands of people, of people whom for once have come to adore her. What a sorrow, hardships and shame she had faced. She was so lost in darkness that she doesn't know where to go, what to do and how to bear. She doesn't know where and how to start over. She was there in an empty room left with nobody else but herself, so afraid and was just crying with no one hears. Since then she had jailed herself, she was forced to understand and face things that every child would not even dare to imagine. To be able to experience and to deal with the lost is not a bad thing instead it is something that every human being should get through with so they can be stronger in facing life in the future. But with such a little child to carry the burden and bury it with her heart by only herself? Was that humane? For a kid who barely tries to stood up again all by herself facing sudden changes in life with no one left to hear her cries, was that fair? Everyone seemed to be so selfish only thinking of their worries and concerns, and just disregarding this little child. Do you know what does this child do in exchange of their selfishness?- she just smiled.-letting them know that she's fine (she wanted to be).
