When you were younger you used to love watching icicles melt. There was something fascinating about this tiny piece of nature disappearing forever. Now that you are all grown up the icicles have lost their awe. You don't see them as works of art anymore. You see them as people. And they really are quite similar to you.
They are all generally the same, yet each one is so perfectly unique. They spend half of their lives building themselves up and the other half slowly dripping away. And once they're gone, they are gone forever.
You've told others about your theory before but they didn't see it as you did. They had laughed and told you they had an excellent imagination. You really shouldn't of been so surprised about the reaction. After all, not many have seen what you have.
Not many people know how cold humanity can be.
For the most part you've kept your thoughts about icicles to yourself, in fact, you've nearly forgotten about it.
Every once and a while though, temperatures drop and once again hundreds of pieces of frozen water appear everywhere. Those are the times you look out your window and remember you're freezing.
I'm not really sure what brought that on to be honest. I would suspect the chills but maybe not. All I know is that it makes perfect sense really. In some weird way...

Hey, it's day
Thanks to school I have gotten a taste of the light. Here's what I have to say about my stay
A Cage Built of False Reason
I step up to the cage
built of false reason.
The beast inside eyes
me as I finger the latch
Slowly I unlock the
cage and back away.
The beast steps out
shaking his head from side to side
He stretches and
steps forward
I step back
I fear this creature
The creature bares
its teeth
They gleam in the
night
Soon I’ve run out of
room
I feel the edge of
the cliff, a light breeze blows
I wonder if it would
be simpler to jump
To join the rest down
below
I look at the world
The animals there
have it easy
They know not of the
beast on the cliff
Ignorance is bliss
With a deep breath I
step forward
I am ready to face
the beast
Even in the darkness
I can see it smile

Chills
A hopefully quick post.
I just wanted to comment on the chills. The chills (and the sudden feeling that I'm falling) are how I know I'm up on my cliff.
So even though I am under several blankets it give me great joy to tell you all
I am freezing.

Nothing comes from Nothing
Nothing comes from nothing.
This blog comes from me. Why? Good question. This is the blog I made for the creature of the night. It's the part of me that nearly never sees the light of day.
This blog helps these thoughts show in the daylight. While the mask slips back on and the questions repressed, this stays here. A waving flag on the top of the cliff
Though I stay hidden it screams
"I am here"
I didn't think that this side of me existed. But it became obvious after too long. A cheery joker in the day. Yes that's me, If I am not smiling something must be wrong.
Well. That isn't really me
That person is Thunderbird. I am not her.
I guess it would be best to call me Anaz (AH-naz) Similar to Anasazi the group of people who live along to cliffs.
I should try my best to explain my metaphoric cliff. This may get you no where, but it's a start

Up Here on my Cliff, I
see Everyone but Myself
Up here on my cliff
It’s cold
High up
I see everyone but
myself
That’s absurd
The view here is
blurred
I can’t really see
I’m not truly free
I want to know me
But I don’t want to
see
It could be wrong
Maybe I misheard the
song
And most of all
The fear of a fall
The fortress
collapsing in a mound
But never makes a
sound
I came here to be
free
I came here to know me
If only this cliff
were that easy
If only this cliff
weren’t so breezy
Yet in a twisted way
I understand
everything that I say
And through those
words
I know I
I can’t even begin to
explain why.
Even though what I
learn
Could be not true
I’ll still come here
If only for the view
