As I stare listlessly into the mirror, the fuzzy image that gazes back at me is someone I barely recognize. But I do. They say prison causes profound changes in a man, and the most extraordinary stem from the most incredible circumstances. That man in the mirror has undergone an unimaginable plethora of alterations because he is the absolute worst thing one can be in prison: an innocent man.
I detect the bitterness in his hazel eyes, the constant worry that wrinkles his forehead, the anxiety that sets his jaw like cement and the frustration that has lightened his hair from brown to salty beige. But still, occasionally, I notice the soft smile of that gracious man I used to know, the kindness in his eyes and the youthful, even naive, wonder underlying his visage.
I witness as he struggles for control over his flagging emotions; his quiet humbleness as he is degraded 由 those who believe that, 由 mere coincidence of fallaciously bestowed power, they are superior in some way; the way he continues to strive for good, despite the oppression surrounding him; how he never puts himself before others; and he helps whoever he can. The man in the mirror is tired of fighting but he cannot stop, he was never taught how to give up. But like Atlas, his back groans under the weight on his shoulders.
I have observed the battles passing through his head as he combats the onslaught of vengeful thoughts for those who lied and cheated to set him up, refusing to hate them, regardless of their perfidious aspirations. The pain he feels for his loved ones, who he is powerless to protect from these people, seems to consume him with the voraciousness of a lion on the third 日 of an unfruitful hunt. He is tortured 由 his inability to provide the warmth and joy that he once gave to his children, and what they (and he) are missing each day. I rarely glimpse hope in his eyes anymore.
I sometimes wonder if he will make it. He seems to know there is little chance for retribution in a society that persecutes based on loose insinuation, vicious accusation and thoughtless supposition, but refuses to accept it. He seems to linger in reminiscence of a 日 long gone, a 日 in which greed and narcissism did not pervade everything, a 日 in which distorted imaginations were not permitted to pervert wholesome interchanges with delusional exaggerations. He seems to stick to his beliefs as if they are the only branches within his grasp during a devastating flood of irrationality. It is like watching a bridge crumble, one speck at a time, over a century; each bit takes an eternity to weaken the structure, but none can be replaced once it has fallen to be swept away 由 the current.
However, I still think he will overcome and persevere, because I have never seen his determination waver. And, as all of us in this situation know, prison mirrors are not very clear.

The Falling Man
One of the most haunting 图片 captured from 9/11, it shows a man free-falling after he has jumped from one of the windows of North Tower. He was one of the people they call “Jumpers”, who chose to jump to their death rather than get suffocated 由 the smoke 或者 get buried under the rubble. Some called them cowards, while some sensationalized them as tragic symbols of 9/11. But the fact of the matter is, it was a hard choice for anyone to make, and one can not really judge the decisions a person makes in times like these.
People, 你 rant so much about how 你 have a hard time making choices. Whether 你 should work on your assignment 或者 go out with your friends. Whether 你 should 日期 this guy 或者 that guy. Whether 你 should break up with your boyfriend 或者 not. Whether 你 should wear the 粉, 粉色 衬衫 或者 the baby blue one.
Imagine the choice this man had to make.....

Imagine the choice this man had to make.....
if someone is making 你 upset, just say "look how carless and mean he/she/they are/is."
if someone doesn't believe you, just say "i can't do anything to change your mind."
if someone doesn't like the way 你 are, 或者 they want to change something about you, say "i didn't make myself like this. this is how i was born. take me as i am, 或者 don't accept me at all."
if someone is bullying 你 for "no reason", it's because they like you, 或者 is jealous of you, 或者 it's the spirits clashing.

I am not obsessed with Justin Bieber nor do I hate him. In just neutral about him. But I am soooooooo fed up with all these people bagging him out!
I just read a 问题 on this spot that asked "If 你 saw Justin Bieber standing on the 最佳, 返回页首 of a building getting ready to jump, would 你 cry 或者 scream JUMP FAG JUMP!". I'm sorry but if I saw someone (regardless of who they are) on 最佳, 返回页首 of a building getting ready to jump off, I would do anything to make them stop.
Why do 你 people have grudges against someone who hasn't ever done something bad to anyone 你 know 或者 care about. And people say that he sounds like a chick and that he is a fag but honestly, he doesnt. His voice may be higher than other guys but that doesnt make him a fag.
And anyway, whats wrong with it if he is gay? Adam Lambert is gay and he has millions of fans.
I dont like Justin Bieber but I am fed up of people posting s**t about him!!!!!
Anyone agree???
