In the theology of the Catholic Church,
Limbo (Latin limbus, edge or boundary,
referring to the "edge" of Hell)
is a speculative idea about the afterlife condition
of those who die in original sin
without being assigned to the Hell of the damned.
*
got to learn Limbo
from the movie Inception
of course
*
i think i am in one too
i withdrew
but it’s not complete
i still keep thinking of going back
i begged them
but they wouldn’t let me to
*
and there is no path
for me to proceed
i am trapped
*
it has been 4 months already
i have been job-hopping
4 in a row
and the list will grow
*
my parents keep asking me
to start afresh
new course new place
*
but to me
it won’t do
i will just enter a course
happily acting a zombie
*
graduate with mediocre result
and that’s it
and i shall go back to square one
have to come out
and look for a job
i don’t like the job
and continue to hop
*
so i won’t go back to school
because i don’t even know
what i want to do now
what am i best at, how?
*
and most important of all
the mentality
i just couldn’t fit in
with the 1990’s kids
for another 3 or 4 years
looking at all the friends
happily graduating next sem
*
so i would rather just hide myself
but this is not a permanent solution
i can continue to hop and fall
but 5 years down the road
i am no longer young
*
friends would be embarking
on a stable career
speaking about buying cars, houses
a happy family in construction
*
but what can i do
nothing
nothing
most probably
i will still struggle with
meagre incomes
with the support from parents
while others are doing the other way round
*
welcome to my Limbo
the world of sheer emo
*
