It is close to my ORD.. In less than 3 weeks, I will get to see my pink identity card once again.. In a blink of an eye, 6 months has passed.. In a blink of the other eye, 5 years has passed.. It seems just like yesterday when I enlisted; I was the last to board the last bus to Police Academy, alone. The inital excitement of my folks fizzed out before they saw me in. I remember my then gf had school..
The torture of the minority being the majority still torments my mind. I now still have to conciously remind myself that Jesus died for them too. 6 months then also flew by; I passed out with noone by my side. I road home alone.
Things got better or so I thought. I was posted to the Ministry and just as I was struggling with the gatekeeper in the office, a monkey came on my back and off went my gf.
Yes, I withdrew into depression. Made another decision which was wrong. Scratched my p car. Got my awards and recognitions. And soon it was time to go; I got admitted into Uni before my time.
Arrived in bitter cold Canberra all alone. Met friends who stabbed me. Met someone really special. Had a time of my life. Came home for my first summer becos of my ticket..
Returned to canberra. Worked my arse out to save the little bit of money I had. Met up with really special at Tassie.. School was good; never had good grades in my life. I couldn’t ask for more. And I had to make a fatal mistake afterwhich.
Really special was heartbroken. I want to kick my arse. I graduated with my folks and really special by my side. It was magical. I never had anyone by me before. But now, all that remains are memories and pictures of really special with me cropped off..
Came home to re-enlist. Was absorbed to where I am right now, Familiar faces with new work. I like my job. I love my job. I see the difference I am making. Soon, this will end. Soon, the allowance shall sieze. Soon, I will paid a salary for the first. But now without really special.
What starts now ends as the same; Alone.
