Even as this palace we built
Crumbles, and my heart
Lays shattered where you tossed it aside,
I still believe in my own
Power. No matter how long it takes, I will
Shine like the sun again, and
Emerge as something greater than you ever thought I could be.

Walk In The Woods
I don't bring a compass or a map when I venture into the woods. I just walk, and walk, and walk. Maybe I'll wind my way around to the next house over, the garden now overgrown and the occupant now far away. There'll be no friendly hello or offer of tea if I step out there anymore.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

This is great and relatable. I like how the speaker knows she will shine through the pain one day, and that this event will, even though it shines, eclipse the painful event.
Beautiful work. I love the strength displayed in your words.
