There lay the longest bridge that I have ever seen. I wish that it was burning. Traction remained once excitement took flight, around the corners we moved in formation. I saw you crash and fade to the ground. Your survival determined by your monochromatic glee. Your beautiful blue eyes overshadowed by the deepest sadness. How I wish I could take it all away...

You ran to me like a long lost child, but you were a stranger. The palm trees and unlimited warmth invited me in, after your deception rendered me homeless. I have arrived.

The death of the yellow rose

Yes, I heard you. I always pretend not to listen, but that's just my facade.
Hi there.

No, I'm not the posterchild for your mistakes. I'm not your scapegoat. I won't take the blame. I'm not like you. I love you, but I'm not moulding myself in your image. I'm better than that. I'm better than you.

Don't ever try to steal my ruby slippers again, bitch.

Nepotism vs. Narcissism

Some people will stoop to anything to get where they want to be in life. The religious will drop to their knees and pray. The desperate will drop to their knees and beg. The moral-less will drop to their knees and... well, we hope for all their sakes that their stories will have happy endings.

As for me? I don't want to rely on the 'It's who you know' strategy. I'm well aware that my chosen industry is competitive, but I will never let that scare me. It makes me work harder. I know I have what it takes to get there, and I don't particularly care for pretending that I don't. I won't undersell my talents to make others feel better, for I am not here to nurse my competition.

I will keep my talents hidden, like a secret flame, until I'm ready to set my ambitions on fire. I love to prove people wrong.
