Ten to five, at least we’ve tried
We’re still alive, but hope has died
As they closed the door behind you.
Have you ever felt this sinking feeling. So desolate, that no one cares about you. I mean sure, there are people who ask you if you’re okay, but have you ever wondered if they do it out of courtesy? I mean, just ask for formalities’ sake. And, if they actually really care. And why does it feel as though the closer people are to you, the harder it is for them to see how you actually feel? When they are so close, it feels like your acting, however lousy, can easily fool them. On the contary, outsiders can see exactly how you feel, somehow. There’s a chinese saying for it (pang guan ze qing). Its becoming more and more true to me. Even if you are so close to someone, there are some things you doubt, some things you’ve just got to keep to yourself. Bottom line, be strong.
But what exactly is ‘strong’?
