Another thing in my emails
People are the face of the Earth. Thatβs what one of my friends would say. βWeβre never heard by others. We deserve to be heard. We know how to make a difference.β But in such a world, where none would pay attention to us children, whoβs desperate cries fall upon deaf ears. The ones above, who βspeakβ for us. Chelsea has always believed that.
In an ironic turn of events, there is no need to speak, as theyβve made their mark. Just not in the way they may have wanted to. The buildings weβve made, the twisted metal and shining glass. It stands before us, stretching into the sky, disappearing into the clouds. A trophy to those who are rich, but the opposite to those who are poor. βActions speak louder than words, you know?β And to every friend, there is someone to fight. Emma had always known, that speaking with no support would do nothing. βWell so what if they do? My action is to yell at the top of my voice. You canβt tell me thatβs not loud.β And here I am to sit in midst of the action, in the middle of the park, ready to do something.
βChelsea, what good are you to spread to the world, if all you do, is add to the noise, deafening those who speak below you?β These two will always quarrel, whether it be at a park or a home, during the night or the day. To my relief Emma was able to cause an end to Chelseaβs rant, to my relief. Yet here she speaks again. βWell, what if I am to speak for those who need a voice.β The quarrelling never ends, and a rebuttal from Emma would not be unheard of. βI for one, wouldnβt know. As we stand right now, who is to listen to you? I would do anything, to shut you up until you do something that will make people respect you. Make yourself a reputation.β
βMaybe I will. Then you will listen to me.β Chelsea fights back, only to be knocked down by Emma. βAnd by then you would have lost your ideals. Youβll never keep them. Youβll be at a loss, and once you have made your βreputationβ, you wonβt even know why youβd have done it.β
Sitting between these two have always been a problem, and so, the park we sit in, has become silent. What is there to listen to, other than the wind, rustling the leaves in the trees. Iβve never been able to join these fights. Becauseβ¦ both are true. We are the face of this earth. We speak for ourselves and each other. However, in order to do so, we build our reputation, high enough, that it reaches the tallest buildings in the world. I can now only wait for them to realise, as my opinion would only add fuel to the fire, preventing a daydreamer like me, to run free.
