There are days when I wake up blank, with not a single thought in my mind. I might have already overslept; this already making me feel like I have lost valuable time. As I trudge to the washroom, this voice inside me chides me for not living up to its expectations. This voice lives inside me, whispering all the time if I don't do things according to its plans. It is more like a person who rules over me all the time, telling me what to do and what not. In fact, I have most of the time obediently listened to this voice and why not.
But sometimes, this voice gets the better of me. Often, when I am sleeping and maybe way too long for this 'person's' comfort, it starts nudging me and whispering in my ears; "....wake up sleepy head. You have work to do.....you can't afford to waste time...." And that's exactly what happens when I very rarely take a power nap in the afternoon. And I wake up feeling as guilty as guilty could be. And I wonder how some of my friends blissfully sleep without a care in the world.
And then I think, yes! I have been sleeping for too long and I got to wake up now! Wake up and make a difference 'cause my people need me!
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find
Should've known better
I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
that you had to leave me alone
(This song by George Michael has been a favourite with me!)
