On My Own


I can't wait to face the world.
My own modern day adventure.
Seeing new sights.
Smelling new smells.
Living the kind of life that I have only dreamed of.
Moving to somewhere I've never been and learning how to live.
A fresh start.
A clean slate.
Far away from everything I have ever known.
I can't wait to get away.
This place is getting small.
I want to see the world.
I want to learn something new everyday.
I want to experiance things that I could never have imagined.
I am ready for the world.
I just hope the world is ready for me.

Love


He was broken. She was shattered. They risked everything for this, but they knew it was a gamble.

To Whom It May Concern... Again
To whom it may concern,

I haven't written in so long that there is so much to say,
But for some reason I can't seem to remember it,
And you probably wouldn't care about most of it anyway.
My life has been pretty boring lately.
I miss writing.
I miss familiar faces.
I miss familiar sights.
I miss familiar sounds.
I miss the sounds of summer and the color of the night.
I can't seem to hear or see anything anymore.
The sounds are all faint and the colors are all faded.
The world has changed since I've been gone and I can't seem to find my place in it.
I've tried everything I can think of to strike some kind of feeling,
But nothing seems to work.
I've stood out in the rain.
I've named all the stars.
Everything is so differant.
This is differant rain.
These are differant stars.
I miss my rain,
And I miss my stars.
They semmed to have the answers to everything.
I could hear their song as clearly as I can hear my heart beat.
The stars here don't notice me.
They don't respond to my song.
I feel so alone and their is no one to talk to.
I always have you though.
No matter who you are.
Whether I know you or not.
So for now,
This is all I have to say.
But I will write again.
To much changes if I stay away.

Until next time,
Your poet.

Fragile
She got out of bed for the first time in days.

As she drew back the curtains and cringed as she turned away from the light. The sun hurt her eyes.

She couldn't believe it. Three days had passed and the sun was still shining. She had hoped it would stop. It wasn't fair. That the sun could go on shining and the other people could go on enjoying it. She couldn't. Not now. Her life was over. Why couldn't other people feel it.

Her dreams were crushed. Smashed to pieces in a fit of rage like the mirror on her vanity and the window in her bedroom.

Her heart lay on the floor where she dropped it. She hadn't picked it up. She couldn't even look at it. She was too afraid that it would crumble to ash under the pressure of her gaze.

She had just wanted to sing. That was all. She wanted to walk onto a stage and hear the applause. She wanted to pretend she was someone else. If only for a short time.

As she stood on the edge of the stage, hiding behind the curtains, all she could hear were the sounds of the audiance finding thier seats. She knew that in just a short time, they would be in awe, mezmerized by her voice. She had waited for this moment her whole life.

How was she supposed to know that the audiance had other plans.

When the song had finally ended and she lowered the microphone to her chest, an uncomfortable silence fell in the theatre. She knew what was going to happen before it did. When he lights began to fade and the curtains began to close, the jeers fill the room, followed closely by the tears.

Three days had passed and the sun was still shining. It's light fell to shine on others. It would never shine on her. She would never sing again.
