Gladys

It is not easy being here.
I was actually doing this so innocently.
You could ask me anything.
Our world is made up of many struggles and hardships.
Life carries on and is actually a vicious cycle.
I will do my time and face the world with total boldness.

Hope you are doing okay?

The heat is kind of unbearable;
the Sun Shines with all it’s glory.

Where are you?

In a split second the weather changes.
There’s heavy downpour and I start to shiver
cos the rain brings a lot of cold.
It’s sort of having 4 seasons in a day.
It’s going on 15 years.
How could I not adapt.
In my room with 24 others,
I’m in my own world.

The sky in different hues
actually amazes me.
The moon is also my thing.
Please don’t cry softly.
Smile on thinking of me.
Though it is painful to be treated this way,
I know this nightmare will be over.
There is no budget for me to survive.

Can you hear me?

Everything around us is so beautiful.
Our creator is marvellous.
