Does it make any sense? The fact that people seem to forget everything once they are sitting on top of the world, on a tower. It’s not that easy you know; fame and popularity doesn’t really give you anything, except the feeling of sitting on top of a tower…from where you can see everything, understand everything. But as a matter of fact, if you are sitting there, no one can see you neither can they understand you. Believe it or not, this is exactly how life is.
People say the best time of your life is when your family understands you like your friends and your friends treats you like your family. without a doubt, I shall vote for it to be the truth, but at the same time I might as well say that this mere truth barely takes place in our lives. The tentative feeling of fortitude and at the same time comparing myself to a trivial being, I find myself stalking my own life with unknown subtlety.
Having been brought up in an orphanage, the pleasure of life has become extinct. However, I always felt myself to be dormant, that one day the accumulation of general currency would be a part of my life. As I have mentioned at first that the understanding of your family is the best part of life, now that I come to think of it, I haven’t even got a family by my side, let alone having them understand me. I have lived my life the worst way possible and now the world is paying me for its cruelty. I sold my tolerance to the world and I hoped that one day it would pay me, even if the payment were in credit. And surely it did.
My life has now become the hub of fame and popularity, I have become a plastic person who has become a topic of fakeness to the world and whom no one understands. Now people judge me by my looks and my insides are just as invisible to the people as they are to me. Has it ever occurred to anyone how I have survived my life? Nobody understands me!
Yes, you can say that I am sitting on top of the world, on a tower. I can see everything by just sweeping my eyes down but people will find it a lot more difficult looking up at me, looking up beyond the tower. Now do you think sitting on top of a tower is easy?

I like the whole message this gives like a person who has a brick of gold thats been hollowed out inside.
My favourite lines are:
"People say the best time of your life is when your family understands you like your friends and your friends treats you like your family."
and "I have become a plastic person" which is so ironic since you're plastic because of being fake and also maybe literally too (plastic surgeries). This is a really great line.
I have to admit that 'Tower' is a really though provoking piece. I agree with eden on how the trip (or lack of one) there is always different for everyone and what happens after the destination is reached. Good job on this
I think that no matter where you are in life, there will always be hardships and all sorts of different things thrown your way. Some people are born into life already atop the "tower" while others spend their whole lives climbing it. I guess my answer is that it varies with each person, it might be hard sitting on top for some but getting there is easy. To others it was hard getting on top and enjoy being on top, but who knows what things will come in the future. On the other hand, some people are content with not being part of the tower at all..
Sorry, I didn't mean to say so much, but I thought this was interesting. It made me think a bit, and I even wrote all that to try and answer the last sentence. I did enjoy it though in the sense that it made me think and wonder about things. Good stuff, and "welcome" again..
its good to know that i made someone think so much..and you actually did brong a lot of sense to this story. thanks again.
