those lonely eyes
don't have to be alone tonight
I’d never been quite experienced with story-telling, let alone within these vicious, cutthroat parameters, but I do try. I want to be the man to watch over the pristine ovule clutched so carefully against a queer, feathered breast… Yet, everyone else appears to feel the same and I am suddenly dismayed by their awesome ability to appear so calm in such a tender, serious situation.
However, when a young colt that I’d seen at the last competition appears, I look up carefully to the witch. Her eyes are unforgiving as she sends him away and I know that I could be next… Perhaps that was why I began to search the recesses of my brain for a story, a figment in time that would inspire and awaken the senses. What I came up with was about life and growing up. It was about learning and growing and unfolding, sloughing away childhood antics and adopting a new and beautiful, matured demeanor.
After waiting for a young colt to finish his tale, or statement rather, I stepped forth in order to take the empty place on stage. I cleared my throat before looking up the creature with kind, assured eyes, “I go, bid envy adieu amidst welcomed, glorious, adulthood adventures.”
After ending on a shaky breath, I turned back around to join my peers in hopes of passing through to the next round. I knew we were all a bit nervous (or at least I was) and each of us deserved an equal chance to shine.
I just hoped I’d shined bright enough for notice…
