So…hi? Um long time no see. Two words… School and NaNowriMo….I failed the latter but on the bright side I have all A's and B's! wooo. At my school we have a really big arts program and we're lucky to have a big orchestra (72 people) and I'm switching from first violin 6th chair to viola and i gotta say i love it
So if i get 10 comments I'll post 2 chapters instead of one in the next 4 days, if no 10 I'll just post one but that's up to you guys
And now I leave you with a Kendra original, my poem "Sinking"
Can you feel that?
That tickle?
Stars floating in front of your eyes,
Shot down from the October night sky
Falling
Falling
Falling
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Can you feel that?
That dread in your stomach
As you fall
Down
Down
Down
Twenty seconds that's all it took
Oxygen masks dangle like chandeliers
They sparkle in the emergency glow
Brace! Brace! Brace for impact!
We're going down! Brace for impact!
Mothers crying, children hiding, the man…
The man who was scowling earlier,
He's preying.
Hot liquid is running down our cheeks,
But no words come out, we cannot speak
Do you feel that?
The burn of the cold un-loving water?
Does it try to embrace you?
Does it try to invite you to its home?
Promising warmth, peace, and safety?
The water is turning icy; it's full of pointy needles.
I'm feeling heavy are you?
Are your lungs burning like mine?
Can you feel that?
The tickle of your last air bubbles running up your frozen face?
Do you regret anything? Like me?
Not looking back with a smile to say goodbye, getting in that argument before you had to fly?
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
My hopes and dreams come with me.
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking.
