She was...

part one

stairway to heaven trail, New Jersey

She was a dreamer who lived in

an insomniac world. Nothing came easy…

every time she tried to begin,

she would stumble and fall, but that

didn’t stop her. Although she thought

differently...her will could withstand anything

thrown in her way, just another challenge fought.

The past haunted her days, shadowing almost

every move…every single breath. Time

always promised to make things better,

but she knew better than to find

truth in those words. Truth lay somewhere

far from where she had ever let herself dream,

too heavy from all the weight she carried.

There was only one time she let herself lean…

letting her weight get the best of her, thinking

she could find a way to dream peacefully forever,

but even then she failed to succeed.

She lost the ability to hold her world together.

Indifferent to the world, numb to all

emotion, she lost hope in being set free.

The darkness surrounding so great; faith too small.

So she poured her pent up pain,

into artful master pieces.

She sketched abstract obscurities

that depicted her darkest of secrets.

She painted intangible thoughts and

feelings she longed to be fulfilled with through

majestic words that put anyone who dared

to read, in the footsteps of her soul. Broken and blue

she crafted old warn memories into the

picturesque landscapes of her wildest dreams. She

elegantly danced with the monsters under her bed and

gracefully with the skeletons in her closet… breaking free.
