SECOND

For just one second
Her head fell, pushing hair in front of the once bright smile. Her frame hung, shoulders slouching under the pressure.
And then the second was gone.

BOOK

This is a book of which I will write as long as have this thought. The thought that nags and makes me dream of something else. You would think this would be a long book then, if I held this thought in such high esteem. But you would be wrong. For I know it is wrong. And that's all I have to say about my book of thought.

WHAT

We had all agreed. The pact was made. But why were we now running? It had been bullet proof. There was nothing lacking from our plan. Well, except for one minor detail. But that’s why we brought him along. We knew it was a risk right from the start, but I don’t think any of us would have imagined this. Now, running through the lengthy corridor I wondered, what happened? What went wrong? To be quite honest, I had no idea. And no thoughts could form in my head but curiosity and sheer panic, as sweat and blood fell down.

DON'T STOP

The stars, plantets, moon, and sun would all be at a loss. None would appreciate their beauty if they were not seen. So what are you doing, standing idly there looking towards the nothingness of stress. Don't simply stop in the middle. You will never see the bright light at the end; instead it will be a constant tease, a dream never be revealed. Some might imposter with a flame, trying to disguise, causing some to think that the end. The sunset must be ridden towards, not simply looked at from a far. In order to get there you must go.

DID

I don't know why I did,
I just know it happened.
I don't know why I would,
I just know that I did.

REGROW

Why are you on my grass, my place?
Why do you trample it so?
Why is there a steady smile across your face?
Now I need to regrow.

WEREN'T

You weren't there!
You didn't see!
You only saw!
You were far!
It wasn't real!
It wasn't your country!
Your town!
Your backyard!
Your life!
You didn't have to pick up the pieces!
You didn't have to stand there!
You didn't have to watch!
You only saw the result!
Not the pain!
Not the fear!
The horror!
The sorrow!
You weren't there!
