Transformation
An Acrostic Poem
Even when you try to hinder my potential
Covering me with a blanket of self-doubt to the point of suffocation
Little do you know, but I refuse to remain in your shadow
In me, you see a mere shell of a human being, incapable of anything
Perhaps my transformation requires a period of darkness
Shining light in areas once obscured to me
Eventually, when I re-emerge, you will be stunned by the sight you see

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.
