Just breathe

The bomb explodes 
Revealing the naked truth. 
Fear takes a hold, as the heart beats
Increase intensely.

Questions fill a mind that is suddenly uninhabited. 
The only sound is that thundering drum in the chest. 

Is this shock? Or is this the trepidation they said would soon be realised. 

Like the boa constrictor abandonment and despair take on a grip. 

As you feel your bones crumble and break. 
The only words your brain can remember saying.. 

- Just breathe -.

Those who were fortunate enough to have been travelled out of the city or even the country, wrote fantastic stories while others, even though they wrote fictional stories still managed to use their imagination and write good stories.  I always struggled to complete one paragraph, I found it difficult to transform my thoughts onto paper, as hard as I tried it was clear writing stories was not one of my strengths. Over the course of my school days, I had a dream of becoming an author. Verbally I could tell good stories and I had a wild imagination, but the challenge of getting these words from my head on to paper seemed difficult.  I enjoyed the school library and spent a lot of time exchanging books to read, I loved that feeling of being immersed into other worlds as different authors told their stories with such amazing brilli

In The Silence of Night.

  In the stillness of midnight's embrace, Under moonlit skies, miles apart. Missing you, my love, beyond measure, Longing for us to be together. Each moment lingers, time stands still, yearning, Hoping for love so true. In the quiet of night, I silently plea, Hoping you feel the same for me.
