She's singing this simple melody

Hello, I'm Holly. My dream ever since I was a little girl was to be a singer. Not necessarily to become famous but to move people with my music. I'm not going to pretend that this is some silly fantasy, because it isn't. It's my dream and damn it i don't care if people won't take me seriously.

The pear tree, magnificent and promising

Reached out its limbs and roots in a warm embrace.

The pear tree, daunting and overbearing

Reached out its limbs to take my life.

I hate this. I hate this so much. 

Just when I think something might happen…

We were talking, laughing, sharing stories and then came a question that caught me off guard and sparked a flame of hope followed by a tidal wave that extinguished wishful thinking. 

It’s so difficult to stick with a decision when you make me want to change my mind in a heartbeat. 

This feeling is much less than I expected

After so long, achievement should have been sugary to the taste

Instead it’s like a bland cracker, savory, but unsatisfying.

How am I supposed to tell people my predicament without hurting them?

  • D: She's just pretending to be an atheist.
  • Excuse me?
