EXPRESSION, MY TRUE FRIEND
Let me tell you a story about my
friend, Expression. My forever companion, a true friend, whenever needed and
the most faithful of all. We met during my playground seasons when the
beautiful daughter of the old puerile, adolescent was my best friend. We had so
many things in common until expression came along, introduced himself as Lord
Expression, Heir to the Duke of feelings. That day, I knew I would never remain
the same, I knew in my heart that I had found a best friend. The only friend,
who would never lie to me, never let me down, a friend who will always show me
and tell me anything.
Up until now, he is always with me.
I see him everywhere I go, appearing on every face I see. I cannot
really put together how that’s possible, but I can definitely say that he is
one of nature’s greatest pranks on us. Sometimes he freaks me out, most times
he give me comforts me. Most times I wonder why, sometimes I worry how. I tried
to push him out once when he, out of his over faithful and true self failed to
help me lie but he remained, stuck! Can u imagine! I even shouted at him, told
him I won’t need him again and he just stood there laughing at me, telling me I
can’t do without him. That day, all I wanted to do was finding Mother Nature
and condemn her for procreating such a cursed man, Expression.
Then I knew nothing came easy,
nothing is the way you want it to be, nothing and no one will completely be
what you want them to be. So I accepted my faith, accepted him for who he is,
accepted the fact that whatever I do, say or want, I have to ask Expression for
permission. As unreasonable and unattractive as it seems, he claims it is for
my own good, protection and for the better life to come.
But for what is worth, I still love him. Because whenever others lie, he
tells me they are, when unfaithful people try to confuse me or distract me,
their own companion, expression give them away. It is in there nature, they
NEVER LIE! Its looks difficult for them but it is who they are, it is what they
are (THE FACIAL LIE DETECTOR).
This is the prank Mother Nature has
pulled on us all, as I have noticed.
Expression, my true friend
