Silent Tears

Sometimes your blossoming talent and ambition are rendered useless when a painful reality is bestowed upon you. For Anzu it meant abandoning her lifelong dream, and learning how to live with clipped wings, no matter how painful and unavoidable. Anzu centr

A/N:

I dedicate this one-shot to all my awesome and faithful readers out there. Thanks for your support and encouragement. Arigatou, minna, you guys rock! You can also consider this a birthday fic (Yes, it's my birthday todayXD) and although it doesn't exactly inspire happy feelings, I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless!

Note: This is an Anzu-centric character vignette, so if you don't happen to like her, shoo!

They say life is fleeting at best, and you should always enjoy every precious moment it offers you.

I mourn, because I wish I hadn't taken things for granted. Things that would be considered everyday trivialities are beyond my reach now. It hurts, more than I would like to admit.

Life changed me, they changed, everything is different now. I'm not the person I once was, and I never will be again. I don't know if they'll be able to come to terms with that, and I don't know if I ever will.

They treat me like a wounded, helpless little puppy now, most of the time unwittingly, though. I know they probably mean well, but I sometimes find it hard to resist the urge to lash out at them. But, I resist, and tell myself….they're only trying to help me. They cope with the situation as best as they can and I have to respect that, but it's hard, because there are so many things I would like to do, but I can't, not anymore.

Sometimes, I want to scream, because it's so unfair. But I know it won't solve anything. It's the same deal with tears; it's no use shedding them. They only remind me of what is forever lost. They do more harm than good. Gomen nasai, but I'd rather rather cry silent tears, for they cause less harm, or so I'd like to think.

But in the end, what does it matter? All it amounts to is that life stole a precious gift from me and it left me broken beyond repair.
