Under black and white hue water rippled softly, kissing and caressing my skin. I was infinite, beautiful, a star. I was the person he’d never leave, and the daughter she’d live for. I was the sky, the moon, the sun. I was everything the earth had ever kissed. And while sunlight twinkled I sat on warm rocks as water gushed from great peaks at my back, and I laughed, trembled, shook, at the gift that was the present, the essence that made life beautifully tragic. And so alone, however not lonely at all, I let the hysteria encapsulate me take hold of me wrap it’s arms around me as I laughed all the way back to my body, where amongst a classroom full of familiar strangers, i sat quietly feeling utterly, alone.
