Meng has always been the first one to finish his tasks. His mother proudly said so. Even as a child, he knew of the repercussions that would come if he did not finish sweeping the corners first before gathering up the dust, he knew of the dangers of dropping grades in a public school -- not that his grades are what define him, but rather, the result of being excluded from the high performer classes would cast him into the muddied spirit of rowdiness in the normal classes. That, mother had warned, would corrupt his destiny, his potential, and ultimately, his life. 

he had to attempt his best to do what was expected of him.

In times where my mental capacity constrains me.

Instead of facing it head on, 

I work on my body. I hurt, and the part of the brain that registers pain.

It Needs to find a closure that is yet to be possible (that I can’t give).

I can only transpose its notes into music i can perform, my body an instrument sweating profusely, feeling the physicality of my mental troubles somehow makes it all the more bearable. 

Another tune of grunts and winces, muscles creak and groan in protest

I am no more nearer to healing this turmoil within.


Good soldiers follow orders.

It's the order i was given, greater than what i crave in the moment 

Good soldiers follow orders.

I have to stand true. My purpose won't be marred by selfish emotions, and my fear is nothing compared to my promise.

Good soldiers follow orders.

Bredlik

 https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself?
