Karasu - Part 1More Like This
Upon a old, wooded mountain, there was once was a temple. The surrounding trees were knotted, yet proud. It was a well kept temple -- maintained and honored by a group of monks numbering no more than twenty. Their lives were quiet and filled with prayer and study.
Despite their peaceful nature, and despite their respect for the land and one another, the temple was never visited by the villagers from the foot of the mountain. It was a place mentioned only in hushes, in tales to frighten children and in stories shrouded with superstition. The monks, of course, were not human like the villagers were. They were ‘tengu.’ ‘Crow-d

Drowning Out The World
I find myself in the sounds
I release my pain in the lyrics
Enveloping peace is found
The vibes calm my spirit
But when silence falls
Reality and time stop
And then my mind floods
With ever-consuming thoughts
-
The walls in my head break down
The serenity within goes silent
And every regret cries out
My memories become violent
I get this sensation
That my soul is too damaged
A dreadful realization
There's nothing left of me to salvage
Music is just a distraction
To blind myself from the carnage
I remain behind the destruction
Where darkness has the advantage
Remnants of rhyme hinder
Calling out to me once more

Debris (middle chapter)It had been almost four weeks since Aidan Richardson had last turned the corner onto 81st street, and though the area was much the same as it had always been, there was something distinctly different about the sight which now met his eyes. The road itself remained quite unchanged, as littered with potholes as it has always been, and the skyscrapers which rose up on all sides still jostled for space as they reached up into the sky. Yet, almost as if his eyes were no longer his own, the world around him did not seem the same, and Aidan couldn’t help but marvel at the difference.More Like This

Sometimes, she fights whatever fear tries to consume her and tells herself that the ruffled feathers will settle. She tells herself that not everybody is out there and looking for her like a dog on a hunt, that she can blend in with those around her and be able to live happily among the fields of honey-sweet flowers. She tells herself that she won't be found, that she's allowed to love. That she's allowed to have lights warm up inside her; ignite her fragile bones. She tells herself that she can do what she wants without being weighed down by the iron of her past.
When she get she courage to do these simplistic, happy little things, she fulfills them. She displays her work for everybody to see, proud and beautiful, and feels for a beat of a moment that she can blend in. She even feels the drums of bravery and determination in that moment, a sense of knowing that she can be happy without living with

Apparently a week or so ago, our school's broadcasting team sent index cards to every student on campus asking them to write down a personal secret (NO NAMES!). I didn't take part in this activity as I was in a clinical setting.
Today, we walked into school to discover the main-hall window. In the center was a twitter-like "post" asking the students what their secret was, with about 100 of the index cards taped around it.
Most of them were depressing (i.e. 'I was disowned.' 'I watched my grandmother die.' etc.) and some were happy.
I was taken by a simple card that read "I am gay."
I felt the need to reach out to this person, but as there were no names on the index cards, that would be impossible.
During lunch, I got a sticky-note and wrote the message:
"PRIDE is not a sin in love."
and stuck it on the index card.

Class ended and as I walked to my next class, I passed by the window.

When society has come so far
All people are created equal and should be treated as such
Why does who marries who matter so much
Everyone should be treated the same
And have the right to another's last name
Traditions can change for the better
So no one ever feels lesser
Then another, love is a freedom for all
And the government should answer that call
Gender, age and looks should not be judged by others
So others will never have to hold a grudge over who plays mother
With all the children out there with no one

I once heard of someone who wrote, directed, and coastguard in their own movie.
I knew what the right word was, but it still got me thinking:
About the invigorating music of waves crashing against my vessel,
The challenge of serving to the best of my skills,
The pride of keeping the shores of my homeland safe.
That was how I found my career,
And it's been just as rewarding as I had hoped.

In an indirect way.
I knew what she meant though
As she was staring intently at me.
It left me silent for a moment.
Think.
Consider.
Who?
You.
She poked me and asked again
Am I in love with someone?
In hopes to be evasive
The wish to be elusive
I smirked on purpose and said no.
A bad poker face she commented
Probing with other questions
All seeking the same answer.
Tall? Short? Thin? Fit? Fat?
Laugh, say no and look back.
No hint?
I wanted to say something
You already had the hint given.

Cheeks so round
Legs so long
Arms so warm
Body so beautiful

Fly with meI waited in silence, sitting in the high backed chair facing the western most window. With patience in my cup, and fear on my mind, I watched the last few rays of the setting sun make their slow descent over the mountain range. Perfection of beauty, the light glistening off of the calm water that lay at the base of those hills just outside these walls. No more perfect a place exists for one who awaits his end.More Like This

That's the only thought that could come to Ludwig's mind as he sat in the middle of gym filled with colorful decorations, lights, and music. Every other teenager appeared to be having a good time as they talked, danced, and drank with other students. Ludwig, however, had a different mind set. He wasn't focused on the gym, the scenery, or even having a good time…
He was focusing all of his attention on a certain someone. And that someone happened to be Alice.
He watched from a distance as Alice laughed with a group of her friends. She looked beautiful in her blue prom dress.

I don't know how to hold deep meaningful conversations with strangers.
I don't lament at night about a lover I have lost.
I don't watch the white smoke ebb into darkness.
I don't spend lonely nights admiring the true beauty of the world.
I don't sleep restlessly from the truth of suffering within this world.
I don't lie through my smiles or struggle to create them.
But I do think I am a writer.
I am completely, irreparably damaged.
I cry all night over old words and emotional baggage.
I weep over my lost innocence.

Sometimes it's little things.
Things like my ipod or my keys.
Bobby pins and chapsticks often evanesce without warning or cause.
Sometimes I lose bigger things.
Things like my favorite sweater or my school bag.
Things like the reason I came into a room,
Or the memories of what I had for breakfast that morning.
Sometimes I lose my train of thought, or the point I was trying to make or an idea.
Sometimes I lose arguments.
Sometimes I lose friends.

She's the beautiful girl with no name,
Yet she lives in solitude and shame,
Burdened by desolation and sorrow,
Hardened by no cares for tomorrow,
Once she was a child spoiled rotten,
Now she's simply a woman forgotten,
Humble now in every possible way,
All because the world had to get its say,
And with all that, it left her far behind,
Remnants of an abandoned heart to find,
She can't bring herself to lofty dreams,
It's her against fears and worries it seems,
But these are merely my thoughts I know,
Wonders I have each day with her shy hello,
Today is different I'll try to get her to speak,
