Tears Under the Moonlight

I am no stranger to tears as no one (at least none that I know of) is. I may be a stranger to anyone aside from myself but I am a friend of tears and a seeker of serenity. Who isn't? Humans never get contented with serenity, though. That's why they claim not to have found it when they've had it all along. A child is happy, right? It's not because he knows not of what is around him. It's not because he is young and he can't think for himself. Even babies are smarter than their own parents as studies show. It may not be recognized world-wide but mothers claim that once a baby is breast fed, he would be able to detect the feelings of the mother. And of course, not all relatives and friends of the mother would be able to make such a good guess as a baby who would be able to show the feelings of his mother. Then, what makes us lose that serenity we once have? We lose it when we finally see the parental chains and struggle desperately to break free. Breaking free wouldn't be such a bad thing but personally, I think the struggle is.
Right now, incoming fourth year high school students would be preparing for college. One specific aim would be UP. And parents, would also wish for their kid to be in a prestigious school as such and the pressure begins. My parents and some other relatives has put a great amount of pressure in me. even teachers. They think I have a great potential and thus, if I work hard, I could make it. But what if I don't want to work hard? What if I don't care whether I pass or not? I tried telling them but they won't listen. They just don't understand. And every time I find myself doing something other than studying, they find it rather annoying or treat it as if it was severely pointless and such a waste of time.

Pardon for the drawing but that''s a scan of a pic I tried copying..I originally found it in photobucket and thought of making a pencil version.
