walking on egg shells

you know who you are,
you know what you feel,
you know where you stand.

and that's really good for you.

but!

sometimes,
you get caught up so much on where you are standing,
that you can't actually see your surrounding.

clouded.

sometimes,
maybe you should swat that cloud.
or stop that train of thought.
or stop wherever you are going.
and stop whatever you are doing.
and actually see and listen.

not everything is a white noise.

not every little things that go against you is a negativity.

because when your sight get clouded,
you don't really know where you are going.
even though in your heart you know,
you are going the right way.

but the thing is, darling,
you might step on someone's toes.

and i know you really don't mean it.
but if you keep going with that cloud of yours,
you will keep on stepping people's toes.

you might get annoyed by their yelling or yelping,
because you don't really feel like you are bothering them.
like what's wrong with going after something good?
and moreover, doing it the right way.
and you know you are going the right way.

your right way.

do you see it now?

sometimes,
when you get so caught up on where you are standing,
caught up in your feeling,
you kinda get...self-centred.

and that's very rude.
to other people.

like what gives you the right to dismiss someone else's feeling???




p.s. this serves as a note-to-self and well, who knows maybe for you too.
