never the sinner.
really interesting play. it really makes you think about a lot of issues. it was basically about these two gays nathan and dick who killed and mutilated a 15-year-old kid bobbie franks. the play was basically about the murder and the trial, and it sought to explore the personal/psychological side of the two guys i suppose. morbidly disturbing. anw there was some discussion about justice and vengeance, and i really like what the defence lawyer said: "i can hate the sin all i want, but never the sinner." really really nice.
anw before the play i was sort of stuck in school (i didn't wanna go all the way home just to come all the way back again), and was trying to do physics extra questions. which was really bad cuz after 1 hr + i still couldn't get part 1(a). totally gave up after that (just fyi, i still haven't done it yet) and went to eat dinner. met zi zhong there, who said i was loner and should go and get a girl or something -_-. heh. was feeling quite inspired so i wrote a couple of poems (well i wrote three actually but i think the third one is kinda sketchy and needs some work) after eating and on the way to clark quay on the train.
SolitudeThere's nothing wrong with solitude,
No problem with being alone.
While some may crave another's presence,
All I need is my own.
There's no harm in solitude,
A time to find some peace.
A chance to gain some inner calm,
And smooth a worried crease.
Though others seem to tug at me
With emotions true and strong,
I can't let go enough, and so
They slowly pass along.
For there's no harm in solitude
And no wrong in being alone.
While I may need another's presence,
Well, all I have is my own.
the poem seems kinda disjointed, and i suppose it does need work. but well. it was written in a rather depressive (well maybe that's just too strong a word) state, so yeah. anw here's the other one:
My HeartMy heart
must be invisible
(or myself
too opaque),
for everyone
i wish to give it to
never seems to see it.
seems rather angsty eh. well whatever larh haha. i guess i'm just going through a really moodswing-ish time now (well it seems like i've been going through this phase for like forever but yeah.)
