PIECES

A PIECE

So for some time I've been trying to write something dramatic and emotional. A master piece. Unfortunately, I've not been able to come up with anything. I realized what I may even find touching and dramatic may just seem boring to others, but I can still try though. I can try to create that "master piece". In order for us to be on the same page, I want you to do two things. Firstly, read this piece with the voice and tone used in the endings of movies. The voice of the emotional narrator. And secondly, play an emotional song. Preferably Lukas Graham's happy home or Ed Sheeran's photograph. Yeah, I know. I'm an emotional dude, no need to remind me. I hope you're ready now, cos I am.

I've written a lot of pieces. I've written about love, perseverance, the future, hope, pain, and a lot more. But what's the point of all this? I can't really tell. A friend once told me, "thank you very much, this came at the right time." She was about to give up, but my piece gave her a reason to hold on. I had no cape, I had no superpower, but I felt like a hero.

For those who are familiar with my work, you know I'm not really good with imagery, puns, personifications, and all the other literary devices which are the trademark of great writers. I focus more on getting my message out. That's all that matters.

Today I've got one message for you. It's more of a question. My message is not going to be about you holding on when the going gets tough, it's not going to be about loving all; it's not going to be about decisions, blah blah blah.

It's simple and short. I'm stuck. Like seriously, I'm stuck. I'm sorry for leading you on. I imagined I'd have something epic to say by the time I got to this point. But there's nothing, absolutely nothing. My mind is blank, my heart is plunged. So what do we do now? I feel like ending this piece right now, and ripping this sheet into several tiny pieces, but I can't let you down. So I won't let you down.

I'm sure you've read a lot of motivational speeches, a lot of motivational quotes, and probably some motivational poems and books which make you feel momentarily empowered. But you later realize you're where you've always been: the exact same point. How do you fix this? It's simple, fall in love. A loved one offers the best source of motivation. Trust me, I'm talking from experience. Get experience too.

I'm out *drops mic*
