I Want To Be a Writer
I want to be a writer.
I want to see the world through fresh artistic eyes and capture it on paper. I want to see deep meaning in the world and share it with others. I want to be able to thread words together and make them flow, like a brush across a canvas. I want my words to have power. I want them to speak from my very heart and soul, and have them reverberate the hidden truths of the world. I want my words to mean something. I want my words to touch people, move people, make people feel.
But I can't.
I'm afraid.
My fingers tremble before the blank sheet before me. For upon this pure white page, there lies an incredible, untapped potent

To My Future Self...
I fear you.
With every second that passes, I get closer to becoming you. And it terrifies me. I stand here, in the present, staring into the void of the unknown. Countless ordeals and obstacles await me and I fear I may not overcome them. I have so much before me, so much to face in order to become you.
What if I fail?
The decisions that I've made have not been the best ones. And they're going to make things harder for you. I am so selfish. I only think of myself when I consider my actions and I do what satisfies me, forcing you to struggle and suffer. I am so sorry.
Sometimes I wonder if it is too late. I wonder if I have already destro

Embracing Myself
I know I don't have the prettiest of faces,
Mine's covered and cluttered with blemishes and braces.
I often hide it behind my hair
To conceal myself from the world's judging stares.
My body isn't perfect, no. Nowhere near that!
It's covered in bruises and layered in fat.
Perhaps if I had more defined curves,
I'd be more fortunate at finding true love.
My nose could be smaller. My lips and eyes too,
My bust could increase by one size or a few.
I couldn't count the times that I've wished
To look like Beyonce or Jada Pinkett Smith.
But despite my imperfections, my flaws,
I am happy just how I am because
I've learnt to love myself,
They burn.
They scald my skin with their harsh flames,
Flames you unleashed upon me.
The hungry flares lick at my mind,
They feast on my soul and consume my heart.
How could you be this cruel?
I've never known such pain.
I never knew how much they can hurt,
How swift they could reduce my confidence to ashes.
You have power over me
That you didn't know you had.
I can see it in your eyes...
...The shock.
As they burst past your lips
And began the fire.
They burn.
May Your Dreams Take Wing... by Daydreaming-Aurora, literature

May Your Dreams Take Wing...
May your dreams take wing,
Across the sky and past fluffy golden clouds
To fulfil your heart's ambition.
May they guide you through stormy skies
And keep you strong in dense mists
So you continue to strive for your aspirations.
May you learn to cherish your world:
Every diamond dewdrop, every petal of a lily,
The sweet song of a lark and spring's fresh morning breath.
May the world inspire you to reach higher and higher.
May your youthful years be sheltered, nurtured, cared for.
May you be taught to love yourself, embrace yourself
So you have the belief in yourself
To reach for the stars.
May your dreams take wing...
Thought I'd Strike Out Again by Daydreaming-Aurora, literature
Literature
Thought I'd Strike Out Again
I thought I'd never dream again
Until I saw his face,
I thought I'd never drift into
A loving warm embrace.
I thought I'd never stare again
Into another's eyes
And feel that strange sensation
Of getting butterflies.
My life felt like a dark abyss
Of fear and lonely pain,
But then he stepped into my life
Which'll never be the same.
I didn't want to repeat that game
And once more feel that pain.
I was afraid of being played
And have my frail heart torn again.
But his soft sweet voice and gentle gaze,
They cast a spell on me.
Even though trapped in his enchantment,
I somehow feel so free.
I never knew true love until
He gave

I Dreamt I Saw An Angel
I dreamt I saw an angel,
A bright light in the dark.
Her white dress was a shimmer,
And her soft sweet voice a lark.
I dreamt I saw an angel.
Her wings were ghostly white,
Dark hair ran down her shoulders,
And her smile lit up the night.
She came upon that quiet dream
With a message to impart.
She stroked my cheek and kissed my head
To heal my aching heart.
She told me he was out there,
The one who was meant for me.
That I'd meet him someday.
I'll just have to wait and see.
