She Haunts Me
I did this peice in school
I don't quite remember the prompt but this peice reminds me of the parts of myself i struggle with.
On one end I'm a monster, wandering endlessly looking for a "why."
And on the other, I'm a little kid, still curious and awestruck. She wants to be herself, she wants to be free, and she wants to know and understand the world around her.
Both parts I'm rediscovering and getting used to again.
"Then write it yourself." I hate writing… If I enjoyed it and didn’t dread the process, I would’ve already written it into existence. But there’s nothing that feels more excruciating than that.
You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.
