Canadian I'm just a young woman unsure of where she is going. As a child I was fond of literature, and I still am, but I don't read as much as I used to, or as much as I would like to. Aside from that, I also enjoy writing, baking, hiking, drawing and listening to music. I've become quite a recluse, but I'm trying my best to come out of my shell.
364 days ago I was in your arms and you were in me my first voluntary deceit. We had my head against the wall bumping, sheets below drenched in our scents I locked my ankles behind your back which was smooth unlike your face rough and unshaven for who knows how long and we were like that a whole week in August hiding our lust behind screens of axe. 334 days later, I still won't bleed and I don't know why I think I wasted a life.

Fun at our Expense
Lifting her flat face to the midnight sun, thin legs pattering across paper plains plagued with indecipherable symbols like figures etched into the sand. Nearly falling off the edge of land, she clings with her feet, continuing her journey along, going under a big black arch, like entering a sacred place, only this place looks like the one before, and the one to come, as she sees rows upon rows of black arches. She is reminded of her home, a land full of tall blades of grass, where reside her brothers and sisters, and all in her community, full of life, unlike this lonely place. Fearful of becoming lost, she unfolds her wings, and with her third set of limbs, leaps and takes off. But it is too late. None of these lands are familiar and there is no green in sight. All that remains is darkness, and unfamiliarity. She is forever lost, and is doomed to die alone.

Grasshopper Princess
Here cometh lady winter with her shimmering veil of frost; her bodice made of shining ice, her skirt, the ****** snow. Her skin is ever radiant, her breath is cool and crisp. And with her comes the silence as the world prepares for rest.

First Frost
The forest. Where the closest thing to candy is the autumn leaves, brightly colored and scented sweet, you almost want to nibble them, to roll in the scent of their death. How can death smell so sweet? One thing must always die for another to live, so I suppose death is equivalent to life. I guess what I'm saying is: life is sweet.

Life is Sweet
Nobody else in the world can see the world around us quite like me. Everyone else is depressed when it starts to rain, but for me it washes away the pain by encouraging the waters within to flow, and releasing the tears I can no longer hold. They say the sky is gray and gloom, but I see dark shades of fluorescent blue.
