Reaching For The Stars (DISCONTINUED)

by anteaque

What does it really mean to move forward? What does it mean to really be free? These are the questions that have hounded Hana Taylor recently as she wonders about the significance of her life. If she reaches for the stars, then just maybe, then she would know what it really means to reach for the stars... {Human AU, FACE Family, OC Insert}

1. Prologue

I've always wondered what it was like,

What it was to be free.

Free from hardships, free from struggles.

Free from criticism, free from expectations.

It must really be nice, to be free.

But alas, as much as I want to, I cannot be.

My life revolves around every hardships that come my way,

My struggles are numerous and heavy,

I keep hearing criticisms everywhere I go,

and their expectations are slowly killing me.

I live under their shadow,

As the light no longer reaches my eyes,

My life, too, is slowly being engulfed in the darkness.

But, deep inside,

I know that the stars are still there, behind the clouds.

Twinkling, brighter and brighter each passing day.

Even though I may be living underneath a shadow,

those stars never stop shining.

I'm just waiting for that day,

that day where I can finally see those stars again.

When the day comes, I can finally grasp a star,

I will be free.

At long last.
