I can feel the weight of the whole world in my two shoulders. Weakly, I walked languidly to where my car was parked and drove off. I love photography and I just learned today that I passed the entrance examination to my dream University. Everything just seemed so perfect. I would be staying in a dormitory like any other ordinary students out there. I would be taking pictures of things I love. I would be travelling a lot to get great shots. I would be free from the suffocating cage my parents locked me in. I would be independent. The mere thought of being independent is enough to swoon me over to the moon.
But that wasn't as simple as that. They've been my little dreams as long as I can remember. And, with the way things are asserted, I guess it would just remain as it was.
My parents' reaction to the news sent my leaping heart into tampered pieces. It was everything to me. It was everything I dreamed of. It was my greatest achievement, so far. And how I hope that they would be proud of me too. I want them to be proud of me. No. I need them to. But that's not the case. They have no heart for love. Greed already corrupted their hearts and took control of their brains.
I don't want to be the same.
I didn't realize that it's been three hours. I've been driving aimlessly through these quiet roads. I never realized that I drove myself unto this area, a bit too far away from the city. It's where my heart carried me. A place away from the chaotic city and their luminous lights and fake personalities.
I want to be myself. I need to be.
I went out of the car and stared at the expanse of the open field before my eyes, almost plain black under the tin moonlight eclipsed with thick layer of clouds. The playful wind is undeniably cold and foggy. Realizing that I'm the only one there, I shouted all my frustrations freely, letting them all out to unburden myself. I feel so helpless. I hate the world. I just want a simple life. I never dreamed of something so grand. Just simple and happy life is enough for me. I want to pursue what I want! What I want is where I need to be.
Why can't they just love me enough?
I cried. I never thought I'm still capable of doing so. I need to break free. I want an escape. But there's no key.
And the cage is locked.
Though how much I wanted to remain on the spot and savor the freedom of sweet fantasy, I have to find a place to warm myself.
