You keep looking for her.
It hurts.
To see you jump over hurdles for an illusion.
But I’m real, and I’m right here.
I guess I’m more invisible than I thought.
How can you tuck me in a closet…?
To just pull me out whenever you’re ready to play.
I’d rather be your doctor.
I wanna take the pain away.
-But what if the magic trick is over.
And the illusion becomes real?
What would I become?
Would you even care how I feel?

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
