I keep my eyes closed as I concentrate on the energy around me, feeling my body rise off the ground. The wind blows my hair and clothes, but I remain steady, slowly gaining height. Finally I stop, held in place, and my eyes fly open. I am above the trees now. It is a cloudless night, and the moon gives enough light that I can spot the edge of the forest without much difficulty. I check my phone. He hasn't replied yet. Making sure to keep my concentration, I put the phone away and set my sights on civilization. I lean forward slightly, focusing my energy, and begin making my way off into the night.

I did it, I tell him. I flew.

The Brain - Is Wider Than The Sky - Emily Dickinson

The Brain—is wider than the Sky—

For—put them side by side—

The one the other will contain

With ease—and You—beside—

The Brain is deeper than the sea—

For—hold them—Blue to Blue—

The one the other will absorb—

As Sponges—Buckets—do—

The Brain is just the weight of God—

For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—

And they will differ—if they do—

As Syllable from Sound— 

Emily Dickinson

* I came across this as I was doing my CP English Homework. It's a great poem and I plan on posting more of her works on here.

Hypocrites

Satisfaction

"Everything will be alright in the end, and if everything is not alright, then it is not yet the end."

I just watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. If you've not seen it already, I highly recommend that you do so.

The movie really made me look at how short and beautiful life is, and how every second should be appreciated. Joy can be found anywhere, if only one remembers to look.

Also, old people are adorable.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,

Drifting in the wind

Wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards,

One blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you


You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine
 Just own the night like the 4th of July


'Cause baby you're a 

~firework~

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go 

~"Oh, oh, oh"~

As you shoot across the 

~sky-y-y~

Baby, you're a 

~firework~

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go 

~"Oh, oh, oh"~

You're gonna leave 'em all in 

~"awe, awe, awe"~


You don't have to feel like a wasted space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow


Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know


You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July


'Cause baby you're a 

~firework~

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go 

~"Oh, oh, oh"~

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a 

~firework~

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go 

~"Oh, Oh, Oh"~

You're gonna leave 'em all in 

~"awe, awe, awe"~

~Boom, boom, boom~

Even brighter than the 

~moon, moon, moon~

It's always been inside of 

~you, you, you~

And now it's time to let it 

~through-ough-ough~


'Cause baby you're a 

~firework~

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go 

~"Oh, Oh, Oh"~

As you shoot across the 

~sky-y-y~

Baby, you're a 

~firework~

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go 

~"Oh, Oh, Oh"~

You're gonna leave 'em all in 

~"awe, awe, awe"~

~Boom, boom, boom~

Even brighter than the 

~moon, moon, moon~

~Boom, boom, boom~

Even brighter than the 

~moon, moon, moon~
