Hello...again...*facepalm* Why do I always sound so stupid when I write these?! :)
Anyway...I have another free-writing exercises *readers groan in distress* I'm sorry, it's all I've got at the moment...although I will be putting my OYAN synopsis up possibly either tomorrow or Monday. :)
But anyway, here's the exercise, the prompt being acceptance. :D
I see the way they look at you.
The way they laugh,
The way they talk.
I see the hurt that fills your eyes
As you wonder at the contempt,
The disdain, no smile can hide.
I feel the need to reach out.
To comfort you.
I pull you into my arms,
I hold you close,
I tell you how much your life is worth.
I smile as you life your head,
I see your eyes empty of the dread,
That so often haunted your every step,
Your every thought, till there was nothing left.
Your friend forever I will be,
In honour of those who accepted me.
The ones who lifted me, gave me a hand.
The ones who showed me how to take stand.
For all that I believed was right,
So I could help you here tonight.
~ Lei
I love it. That was so beautiful, Cal! :)
ReplyDeleteI like it too *hugs* I think you hit dead-on, if you know what I mean. Haunting every step is realistic. Undesirably so. I like the last line :)
