All this time, I always believed, I was a black sheep, an outcast amoung many things in my academic life. Little did I truely know, I was not. Ever since being in university, I never really made any people I could truely call friends, I was always encased in a cocoon, a natural wall that could only break in due time and not of my own will. It seemed that the time that I freed myself from this shell was now.
Out of over 120 students, I was elected as one of the three nominees for class representative this year. The vote counts were finalized a day later...I lost by one vote (58:57:5). This doesn't mean that I became sad, infact, I am happy that I did not become class rep (I'm now the class rep's right hand), but the fact that I was unaware that this little glow that I believed was just a weak and barely noticeable light was in fact a bright light which everyone embraced. I may sound odd, but I felt so...happy and proud of myself...my body raced and I could swear I felt something that was like a warm soft hand, gently caressing my back, like a set of wings were about to elegantly emerge. I admit, it is a rare experience for me.
Perhaps there is still hope for this little one yet...
Actually, even though I am merely an empty titled vice-class rep, it seems that I am still glowing more than that of the vectored class rep. Why do they look up to a shadow that cannot be anywhere but one's feet? Is there no irony in that?
=====Random (dramatic) gibberish corner=====
Winter is now approaching, and the bitter cold that comes with it. Away from home, my wardrobe is limited, with colours that can only be described as monochrome. It will be the first winter for me with long hair, and I wonder how a student gets by protecting his dark hair that shines under the moon lit sky. For the first time, I reach out for a hair band, using it to wrap my lengthened hair back. I wrap myself in colourless clothing, black to keep myself warm, white to show my inner light.
The monochome prince of winter has returned...
