Absence

It never hurt, now i think of it i felt nothing. Most would think of me as crazy to hear this statement, but i have started to think it's because people are scared. They don't understand like i do or see what i am seeing this very moment. Nothing, i see nothing, except there is no way to describe it. There is no color or a color i have never seen before, no one has. Either way it is indescribable. How do i explain to you what i am experiencing? I cannot see myself, my feet, my hands, or anyone else for that matter. I have no idea how long I have been here, I have no concept of time anymore. It feels like it has been forever, because i do not remember myself. Who am I? My name has evaporated from my mind, along with some of my other

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    I don't think there is anyone out there who can see what I see. I try to find the meaning of all my emptiness, but no matter how hard I try there is never any meaning of it. I am now far away from everyone and everything, I am surrounded by the sky. I still feel as though nothing has changed, I still find myself alone.…

    Little Pieces My little fingers wrapped around my dad's, and his heartwarming smile reassured me that one day, I would become somebody. It's quite crazy, that when you're young- nothing seems to have meaning. You run up and down, sideways and backwards all over the place ,left and right, yet you never realize who you are or what each moment means. As I grow older, the flame in my heart is set ablaze, the passion and immensity of my dreams tackles me down.…

    I have always dreamed of the day where I would be tearing through the skies at seven hundred knots in an F-16. I have always wondered how incredible it must feel to soar above a massive sea clouds thousands of feet in the air. I have always wanted to look around and see three more jet blasting through the sky alongside me and hear nothing but radio chatter and the muffled roar of the engine. I have always felt that I was born to become an outstanding soldier and a stellar pilot. I have a passion for flying that can only be matched by love for this country and my dedication to my family.…

    The Blanket of Invisibility When I was younger, the biggest fear I had was the monsters lurking in the dark. The monsters that took refuge in my closet and under my bed. It was never a fear during the day; only at night. As I got older I realized those monsters weren’t real, but the perception of them had morphed into real life situations.…

    Where could it be? I thought. The bright lights of New York City were shining down on me, hiding my dark, depressing life consumed by pain and suffering. My apartment was up ahead, old, and dilapidated; falling apart like a sand castle, but still standing. The cedar shingles stuck up in places like wobbly teeth, and the unkempt grass was shaggy, like uncombed hair.…
