Heartstrings
Exploring the Depths of Human Emotion
I feel the tug of heartstrings
Pulled tight with every beat,
Each chord an invitation
To a dance both bittersweet.
For in the music of emotion
Lies a melody unique,
With every rise and fall of notes
A story to critique.
Some days the tune is lively,
A skipping, joyous sound,
And other times it's mournful,
A dirge for love unfound.
But through it all, the heartstrings play,
A symphony of life,
A testament to all we feel,
And all we sacrifice.
So let the music of your heart
Echo through the halls of time,
A melody of love and loss,
A song both yours and mine.

Forgotten family house
The family had a long-forgotten house deep in the countryside that once belonged to our now deceased cousin. It was located deep in the woods, at least an hour's drive from the main road. When my parents decided to visit and see what shape it was in, they packed up the car with me, my little brother, and another cousin and made the long drive out.

Blossom
A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
