So here's the result of a recent bout with creativity of sorts. I actually had other intentions during then for a story that I maybe wanted to be a manga if I tried hard enough. I went to write down my thoughts about it and this came out instead?! Maybe if I'd actually entertained those ideas in the first place then I could've been more productive. I say this only because after I wrote this I tried to write down stuff for the story and totally lost it! Nothing clicked and it didn't make as much sense as it did when I originally thought of it. I wrote stuff down anyway to revisit along with a few other ideas I'm letting marinate. I do like this though. If I didn't it wouldn't have made it past paper to here or elsewhere.
She walks along
disheveled in her mind
shadow of a glimmer of hope in her eye
arms heavy from holding on
to dreams for so long
that they've stacked themselves
like pieces of paper
with post-it note reminders
of memories in her heart
possibilities of Someday
half remembered but not forgot
She holds them close
as if to preserve their delicacy
and hide her own from the world
A gust of reality ruffles her
causing the dreams to scatter
because she
wasn't thinking
and
let
go...
She picks up
her dreams
the wishes of her heart
sullied and strangely intact...
and heads off
to carry them elsewhere
