LJ Idol: Week Four - "The Elephant In The Room"

[ckocher]

I’ve been with you longer than you know.

I’m so tired now. My trunk aches from picking up all your secrets. My legs are tired from carrying their weight. My skin has hardened from all the anger, all the fear and rage that your secrets carry with them.

I wear all of your scars too.

It wouldn’t be so hard to let some of them go. Let them fall

Thank you!

An excellent entry and the only I've read so far from the elephant's point of view. Very original. Well written.

[ckocher]

Thank you - this was the third entry I'd written for this round of the first time I thought about the elephant's perspective. I'm very happy that the idea sparked!

Awesome take - the elephant as unwilling participant.

[ckocher]

Thank you!

I love this!!

[bewize]

Great minds... *lol* I'm glad I wrote mine before I read this, and therefore I'm not going to make changes.

This, however, was really beautifully done.

Ha! Ah well ... thank you!
