I can't stand it when I sit back
And think of all the times
I dread lyin' down
So I sit here and think of rhymes
There's a hole in my head
And there's a leak in my brain
With every single second
I feel myself goin' insane
I'm a masterpiece
A disasterpiece
Everything's a game
No matter what I do
It all just turns out the same
I know I'm still young
But the world is on my shoulders
I want to set it all ablaze
But it all keeps gettin' colder
It's like I'm slippin' while I'm walkin'
As I'm goin' nowhere
Like I got a gun to my head
For that Russian Roulette dare
I can't stand to see it like this
I'm always lookin' back
I'm starin' over my shoulder
Wondering if I fell off the track
I need to get my head straight
And sweep all this bullshit away
I need to stop livin' this nightmare
And wake up to a new a day
Because I'm still asleep
I'm not awake
My eyes are closed and I am blind
My mind is shut my ears are deaf
Will I wake up in time?
So will I die before I wake?
To Shangri-La my soul to take?
Or will I wake before I die
And see the evil snake tongue fly?
But I'll never wake
I'm locked in dream
Indulging glorious fantasy
There's only I inside the mind
And only voices speak to me
They call my name
I hear their sound
They take me to
The Underground
It's not a Hell
It's Paradise
Where no one has to pay a price
Where all are free
Where all are one
Your eyes are open
See the sun?
But once again it's just a dream
There is no sun, your eyes are closed
They'll never open
It's what you chose
So should you live in fantasy?
Or try your turn
At reality?
I don't ever want to wake up...
Soooo above would be the first chapter of my newest work in progress (I confess, there's WAY too many WIPs but, hell... it had to be done.) Sooo, couple nights ago, my friend who shall not be named (NOT A LPBH) and I were discussing Kuroshitsuji fanfictions and she was doing a Grell/OC work. So, I got the ker-azy idea to make sort of a companion story to hers, but with "Someone"/OC~ Brilliant, no? ... Yeah, no, it's not that brilliant... Read and comment o-o It depresses me there are no comments on.. like... anything >.>
It's staring at me. A contest of wills. One that I can't possibly win.
Who blinks first. Or rather types. Something. Anything. The bigger the document, the blanker the page. A sea of white pixels taunting me with their emptiness and the urgency of the document whose deadline is approaching or more likely just past.
Yes, this particular deadline has passed. Days ago, I had agonized over this particular blank page, and had been defeated. However, this time... Wait. WAIT. This isn't blank! This isn't blank at all! There are letters! Letters, I say! Oh, blissful stupidity, realizing that by typing this, this so-called blank page is slowly but surely filling up with words, in a mad rush of chicken-pecking and indefinite typos that I'll clean up later. Break out the mead, people! Blank page, mocking page, you are no more.
Sadly, with an unorganized person such as myself, and (I admit, tearfully) sometimes quite lazy, not a whole lot gets done on time. Which is why I've been trying to make up for severely lost time. Hopefully, this story might soothe the foul tempers of administrators waiting impatiently, clucking ill-fated words, for my not-so-blank paper. Or screen. Be it print or pixel, the latter being much more common these days, leaving some of the Old Souled teenagers longing for parchment and quill-... Heheh, maybe that's going a bit too far back. This being a narrative, I'll be doing this in a style I'm most comfortable with.
Ready... set...
Running... Feet pounding against stone... Biting winds whip across the face, lashing angrily. Yes, definitely running. For what, though? From what? It's dark... but street lamps are bright. I don't know this place... I don't... but I do. What's going on? Yes, I recognize that alley... I shouldn't, though. Agh! Stupid loose concrete! I should've known not to trip there... Come on, stand back up, keep going. I don't care if my lungs are burning, if my legs are screaming at me, if all I want to do is scream. I don't know if I'm being chased or if I'm just running for the sake of running. But I hate running... This is too confusing. The street lamps are getting brighter... Too bright. You'd better not trip again, idiot! Just-
"Too bright..." I muttered foggily. "Come on, Leah. Get up. You're gonna be late for school." someone said. Yeah, okay, mom. I thought mutinously. I sighed, untangling myself from a mass of blankets. It's morning... and mom must have opened the curtains. I liked my room dark, and always had two or three blankets over me. That's what the brightness was, not street lamps... With that thought, I immediately grabbed a notebook laying by my bed, and started scribbling down what I remembered about my dream. It was so weird. I've never been running through the streets at God knows what hour like that... Shaking my head, I began wrestling with clothes that hated me, shrugging on a worn-out backpack, and heading out to the bus. November, and I was already sick of school.
Riding the big yellow beast, chattering mindlessly with the few friends I had, going back to the routine of a student, I'd forgotten all about the dream...
"Hey Ari." I heard someone say. "Hmm?" I turned. "What?" A blonde whose name I didn't know looked at me funny, and silently pointed to a redhead sitting a few rows away from me. I muttered a quick 'sorry' and lowered my head. I was pretty sure Leah was my name. Unless I was, y'know, having an identity crisis. Which I wasn't. So why did I automatically respond to that name? That reminded me of the notebook I'd written the dream in. I tugged it out of my bag and flipped through the pages.
Weird dream: I was running down a cold street. Saw all the street lamps. Tripped, but I had to keep running. What Does It Mean??
I gave the page a long stare, and finally clicked a mechanical pencil and started writing. That short description didn't seem to do it justice, you know. With a little tweaking, I was pretty satisfied. I reread and scribbled little details here and there, until light brown hair fell into my eyes. "What're you doing?" Malin asked curiously. She was standing behind me, peering over my head, scanning the page. I turned to meet her with a bland stare, and deadpanned. "Writing my Christmas list." We shared a quick laugh at my bad joke, and she picked the notebook, skimming through what I'd written.
"Hey, this is pretty good. This for Language Arts or something?" I shook my head. "Just a dream I had. Do you know what it means?" She mirrored my shake, but thought for a moment. "Sarah might, though." she suggested, naming another friend of ours. Sarah had a particular way with things like that, Tarot, dreams, and auras. Even though we weren't best friends, she and Malin would at least have my back.
After that class, we made our merry way to Math, where our resident spiritualist was waiting. After a few moments of peering at me and the half-paragraph, she'd asked me if I'd seen any of this before, or if I felt a strong connection. No, yes. Then I mentioned the name incident, and a smile creeped over her features. "So, right after you had this deja vu, you responded to a different name. Very cool. My mom had something like this happen to her. She said it was remembering a past life. We all have a lot of lives before this one, and a lot afterwards, too. You were just remembering one of them. Ari must have been your name in that life. Do you like it? Maybe if we start calling you Ari, you'd remember more."
I wasn't sure how I felt about that, so I declined. Still, for the rest of the day, even when I wasn't playing it over in my head, it was still there. The thought of reincarnation...? Even now, at the ancient age of fourteen, I'm not completely sure, but it's nice to think about...
"So... you want to change your name to Ari?" I nodded. "You don't want to be called Leah anymore?" I nodded. "Not a chance in hell. Go do your homework, Leah."
My struggle continues...
Choosing to believe in past lives, reincarnation, whatever you want to call it can be a very serious choice. If you're religious, you might choose to pass it off as delusions, as simple psychological nuances. There are also other very spiritual people, very adamant about these concepts. Whichever you choose to believe, just know this isn't fiction. It's what I believe. Thank you for reading, and leave comments on what you think~
Yaaay, I have my computer back and things are going good. Now all I need is Christmas money and life would be amazing~ Kehehehe. My friends and I are avid cosplayers working on getting our costumes~ It will be Kuroshitsuji at first, then hopefully Pandora Hearts and other animes~ ^^ I'll be getting my Undertaker cosplay by Christmas, Meagan will be the allmighty Sebastian, and Cassandra Pennings my friend who shall not be named will either be Grell or Ciel (she flip flops in personality)
So, basically, all I've been doing since getting my computer is updating story files, getting some schoolwork done, talking with friends. Haven't done many new projects, unless you count Warmth, or even checked on my Listia auctions. T.T So far, I've lost out on a lot of jewelry... Oh well...
So my posts might be less frequent since I've still got a lot to work on, cleaning stuff up, schoolwork, making AMV's, getting things sorted out, plus I've still got a lot of books stuff to unpack~
So, since my sleep schedule is still fucked up, and I'm about ready to crash, I'll just post a bunch of random quotes... *ahem* Ready... set...
This is a songfic for Buried Alive by Creature Feature~ It's been in my documents for... like... MONTHS. So, you're getting it with zero editing, in all it's glory shame. Enjoy, and please pardon my silly writing 'skillz'~
