Here we see a girl
Being forced to do something she hates
Her passion is slipping away
Her will to try is getting weaker by the hour
She sees what's ahead of her
Bills
Debt
Exams that will never end
Her feelings try to explode onto the page
Yet she keeps them trapped inside her
She needs to finish the tasks she was given
Needs to think of her future so she bottles her past
Some time has passed now
It's been a year since she's written a story
Her poems everyone loved have stopped flowing
Her grades are A's
But they might as well be screaming for her
She's feeling trapped.
Nothing to say
All she wanted was to spread her stories
But life hit her like a bus
Now she's preparing for a life she never wanted
A cubicle awaits her.
Her worst fear
Being trapped by nothing but boringness
No freedom or inspiration
Her mind already a dull space ready for adult life
This girl who could once write a character to life or paint the ocean near her with just the words in her head
Has reinspired herself
She looks at the empty cubicles around her
She sees a connection
She sees feelings in that gray background
She finds herself and starts right back where she left off
She started to build her paper worlds again
Books upon books were made by this one girl's mind
Inspirations
Fears
Hopes
Dreams
She assembled all that she could and she didn't stop writing even when her hands grew sore
She never knew when she would have this freedom again so she used as much as she could
And with each story she created
Each poem she cried
Every simile she made
Every character that came to mind
She dug herself out of her cubicle
And she made her way back to the wonderful girl she used to be
For when she shared her creations with the world, people laughed and cried
Others grew knowledge and wisdom
Because of one girl, all these people knew what played in the deepest depths of her mind and they understood the emotions she felt
Because...
She didn't stop trying
And she didn't settle for unhappiness
