You look me in the eyes it’s there you see shadows of lies behind. Behind tears pain makeup and a few smiling masks. You’ll find the true me find my true past. It’s lies that I’ve told everyone else. I’ve told them so long I believe them myself. Taking back the masks makeup is all you see. I can't believe it is that really me? Eyeliner, lipgloss, mascara and more, cover up everything. Every single pore. Wiping off the makeup all you see is pain. A broken woman drowning in rain looking past the pain, a face covered by tears. Grief builds up over the years. A four-year-old ball of sunshine grew dim. Grew used to the years she let no one in. These harmful feelings I have repressed, no one knows that I am depressed.
End.

Hidden Happiness
The world in which we live, is constantly changing, and this applies even more so in these days in which we live. With the implementation of AI into the workplace, people are beginning to fear for their jobs. With the rumors of wars circulating across the globe people are falling into fearful states, that are spurred on by changes, the likes of which we have never in human history, experienced before.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
