"Longlive" Cursed a Wise Sorcerer
A long time ago,
a wise sorcerer once told me
that every night, from then on,
I will soundlessly
fall asleep
and have a peacefully
lucid dream
of a far better world.
That night...
I fell asleep
soundlessly.
The following night...
I dreamt
peacefully
of a world
far better.
This night...
just like every other night
for the last century
my wretched gift
will, once again, be unwrapped.
I will soundlessly
fall asleep
and have a peacefully
lucid dream
of nothing.

Like everyone else, I've gone through my hardships and I know there are more to come. I've lost friends whom were close to me, I've suffered with grades in school, and I have my own family issues. I used to write with a pessimistic perspective, as you'll see in my earlier writings, but people change with time. I don't want to view what has happened and what will happen through a dark haze. I now write with a more hopeful attitude despite if I'm sad or angry. By reading these, you're getting to know the inner me and though I encourage constructive criticism, for that reason, please be honest and kind. Thank you and, by the way, it's nice to meet you! ;)
