I told the moon and the stars, how I would one day be amongst them, telling them stories of how wonderful life was on Earth. I told them, one day I will be the brightest one of all, dimming others by comparison. I told them, I would be one-of-a-kind, the one unique being far brighter than the brightest star, and far colder than the coldest planet. I told them one day I will be alongside them, looking down below and telling other people who are fighting the same fight I fought once, that everything will be okay.

I went to the forest, and I told the tall, tall trees, how I would one day be amongst them, telling them stories that were etched on the clouds above. I told them, one day I will be the tallest one of all, dwarfing others by comparison. I told them, I would be one-of-a-kind, the one unique being far taller than the tallest tree, and far stronger than the strongest of their kin. I told them one day I will be alongside them, looking above and telling the clouds to write stories for the poeple who are fighting the same fight that I fought once, that everything will be okay.

I went to the vast ocean, and I tried to fight the volume of water with my own tears. I fought once with what people call as depression, and I told the seas how hard it was. My senses turned numb, and the only thing that I can do is jump in. For one thing, it made all the voices quiet, anf I finally able to sleep in peace.

And now, I stood among the stars as the brightest one of all, I stood among the trees as the tallest one of all, looking after people who are still fighting, and tell them it's okay to cry once in a while, or one day, you will drown in your own tears just to make the voices go silent.

Like I did.
