27867 seconds. That roughly calculated to eight hours. By now, Fallah had become an expert at calculating the time. It was Time (with a capital T). Everyone’s born with a countdown ticking on their wrists. Numbers that can’t be erased and will never disappear until the clock reaches zero. And zero means that you’ve fulfilled your life’s destiny. The reason you were born.

Gasping For Air
Each time you open a book and read it,
A tree smiles knowing there’s life after death.
This quote always reminded me of how fickle a thing life is.
It can slip through your fingers in an instant.
It leaves you barely grasping at its fraying edges.
And sometimes, all you want to do is let go.
Fall. Fly. Be free.
But I realized that books were there for a reason.
They are there for those of us who desperately need to lose themselves for at least a little while.
I didn’t know you could drown in books.
But then, here I am, willing to die in its swirling waters
Every time I leave the story and a part of my soul behind,
(Yes, like Voldemort)
I get sucked into the vortex of another world, another tale, another dream.
Maybe the reason why, is that the life I am actually in seems so insignificant in contrast with the others I’ve lived.
Maybe, that’s why…

Taking On The World Within
There’s this fluttering I feel inside me.
But the city I live in my head,
Doesn’t seem to be able to escape into ink and paper,
I never seem to be able to let the words flow from within.
Is it fear? Worry? I know not.
But this year. I’m hoping to see a change.
I’ve got a story to tell.
And nothing is going to stop me. Not even myself.
I’ve got my wits and my dreams.
I’m going to take on the world!

Writing Is Hard And I Did Not Sign Up For This Madness!!!
Another NaNoWriMo gone. And another decade has ended. I’m finally sixteen. And what have I accomplished? N.O.T.H.I.N.G. *applause* Stop clapping! This is supposed to be a pity party for myself. *sad instrumental music*

A Rant
Take Me Back To When I Was Young
Quite recently, I was on a search mission to find and recover one of my old story books. I had loved it, and I just had to give it to my younger brother to read.

Mockingjay « Suzanne Collins
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here.
No stranger would let it be if we met up
At midnight in the hanging tree.”
