I am a dreamer.
I am waiting;
for what I am not yet sure.
I am afraid of oblivion.
I am lost in thoughts of the future.
I am the daughter of a monster.
I am living in a cruel world.
I am stoic.
I am responsible for my thoughts and actions.
I am trying to be a better me.
I am thankful for all of the chances I have been given.
I am a hopeful dreamer.
I am wishing on falling stars.
I am interested in many complex subjects.
I am awed by the wonders of the night sky.
I am astounded by the ocean and everything in it.
I am deeply invested into the music and art worlds.
I am planning to become a part of the US Air Force.
I am skeptical of what lies ahead of me.
I am ready for anything.

perfect, lustrous, admired
seized, rattled, dropped
shattered, hopeless, obstacle
disposed, replaced, forgotten

i wonder if you're awake
i'm calling your name
can you hear me?
fading fast
can you hear me?

The sky was beautiful today. It was clear, blue, and it reminded me of you. The air was crisp, and cool. The breeze danced against my skin, like children at play. The ground hummed beneath me. It almost had a sort of musical rhythm to it. The vibrations moved through my body, rattling my bones, down to my soul. It was time. It was time to pay for my crimes. The ropes that were secured around me crushed me. Engulfing my chest and lungs. They made it very difficult to breathe. But I was not afraid. I looked straight ahead, she was beautiful. Her sleek, black body raced against the tracks. She was headed straight towards me and fast. But I was not afraid. Suddenly I had tears of pure happiness streaming down my face. I was going to be free. Finally, I could let go of everything. I was ready. As she drew closer I stared into her. Thanking her for the deed she was about to do for me. I thought not of the good nor the bad things I had done. Only the overwhelming fact that I was about to be set free. The horn of the train blew, the sound piercing my ears. It was loud, and harsh. But I was not afraid. I found the sound almost sweet. I looked up, for a second I swear, I saw your face. I smiled ever so slightly.
And then the humming ceased, I no longer felt the constriction of my bondages, no noise. My entire being relaxed. I was in the quiet dark, yet I was not afraid.
