The crisp crackling of a raging flame
The hard-scaled dragon that cannot be tamed
The harsh jolt to melancholy
Suffocating in your mind, an emotional anomoly.
The darkness overwhelms
It's too dark to see
The glimpses of starlight that wash over me.
The never-ending journey of swift ups and downs
The whirlpool in my head in which I quickly drown
The reaching out to be met with rejection
Longing for but a crumb of affection.
The cold shivers when someone gets close
Endless wandering, as a petrified ghost
Will they ever see me?
From the outside looking in
Patiently waiting for real life to begin.
The disconnection from all reality
Nothing but a void
I'm running on empty
The crushing trauma is all I see
I'm clawing and screaming
Though they can't feel me.

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?
