... of promises

"Broken promises. How can you handle it?
Broken again and again.
It's once too many, no matter who and what their breaking point may be.
Broken promises. Broken... you?"

What age am I living in? In one which I have so much expectations for, to have people flimsily say what they don't mean is a shock. This isn't the old Japanese society where everyone doesn't speak what they mean. This isn't some business deal where you are trying to get the best deal. We're talking about relationships. Relationship between friends, couples, and every conceivable human link. A relationship of trust.

Smirk, for the lead character has be misled by the villain in the movie again. That's what these unfeeling entities of the devil do. Smirk. As the rest of us frown upon the coming demise of the lead, we are being stabbed by their cold smile, reflecting the look of the villian off the screen.

Yet, there comes a point where a corner of your mind echoes, "Hey, everyone's breaking promises they made to me... What's wrong with me?" As we begin to doubt others, we have that we begin to reject our very being. A deep drum pound for the strong. A glass shatter for the low-esteemed.

Stop it! There's nothing wrong with anybody! There isn't anything wrong with the promise breakers, and certainly nothing wrong with you. Why are promises broken is because people's tendency to forget. Excuses? No, it's what I choose to believe. ANYWAY, it is true. A childhood promise is a simple example. Can you really blame people for forgetting a thing years past? Sure it's sweet to remember, but over the years it could have been stacked below many other memories. Not gone. Just forgotten.

Do not forget. And that's the best we can do. Keep one thing in mind, if breaking promises shows what they are, and if you do, what does that say about you?
