An Obscure Reflection

The Journalist

I came in this world to do my task. To write, and share to every people who needs inspiration most.

But as the famous saying said, 'You cannot give what you don't have' is true.

As a teenager, I used this time to be better. To be way better for the future.

I write, I join competitions, I listen, I jot down.

One day, I was competing for a certain contest.

The speaker spoke with all of her best, as journalists like me listened to her.

I was inspired by her words, and jot everything on my sheet of paper and on my brain.

I've come up knowing the things I've never learned before. And then, we ended the talk and then started writing.

I have no idea on what topic will they give us. Do I know this one or not? Until it was given.

My mind was nothing but like the paper given to every contestants. Fully blanked.

Until I realized the purpose why am I here, sitting in front of a blank bond paper.

I started writing, and the ink flows through the page and started filling it up with words that paint thousands of pictures.

Recall. Think. Sum it all up. Write. Correct if wrong.

Recall. Think. Sum it all up. Write. Correct if wrong.

I remembered what did our speaker have said.

Write with all of your heart in order to touch people's hearts.

Then my hands didn't stop writing anymore until I was done.

I've waited hours for the result, hoping that I've reached my goal for this day.
Until our category was mentioned.

I knew it's almost impossible to win, but I still continued to pray and to hope.

And my name was called for the third place.

I didn't expect that!

I can't believe that even if I didn't reached the very top, I've reached the very goal of mine.

Now, I have more time to write, express, and inspire, like what I wanted to do.
