dancing in the rain

Dancing to Fame

I had always been average at all I did. Wasn’t the champ for basketball, never the one who scored the goals in soccer, never hit perfect home runs, didn’t even get all A’s in school. People would make fun of me; call me the “useless girl”. I would cry myself to sleep every night wishing I could be the best at something. Little did I know that I already was. Everyday I’d stay locked in my room dancing to my music. It would release my stress and cure my pain. Music was my life and dancing my soul. One day however I was in a classroom dancing after class. I didn’t know there were still people around and didn’t really care. I was already lost in my beautiful world of music when someone walked in and saw me dancing. Soon the whole world knew that I liked to dance. I went from one performance to another until it became a career not just a hobby. That’s when I realized that you can’t be good at something your heart and soul don’t love. You have to really love something to be good at it. And that’s the story of how I danced my way to fame. What does your soul long for?


Don’t turn on the TV
          It was a warm summer night in the mid of July a cozy couple was cuddling on a sofa watching a movie. It was 2 am in a school dorm. And the girl stands up to leave the home.
“Where are you going sweetie?” asks the concerned husband
 “I have to get to class” the girl replies
“But you don’t have class at this time” he says with a laugh
“Yes I do you just forgot” she says walking out the door.
He follows her out and into a classroom and the whole place goes dark. All the lights die at once and the husband worried tries to get his wife out. She turns around only to reveal her blood red eyes. She reveals her shark teeth and bites his neck tearing off his veins and skin off from the right side. He falls to the ground a bloody mess.
The girl walks out of the classroom her brown hair drenched with her husband’s blood and goes to the soccer field and sits on the ground. A young blonde girl comes up behind
“You should get inside it’s not safe to be out here at this time” she says
But our odd little friends simply turns around but now her eyes are grass green. She takes the concerned student and feeds her to the grass. The body completely devoured only clothes left to spare. Our odd friend simply stands up and walks back to her home she sits on her sofa and looks at the screen. A strange fog of red and green comes out of her body and returns to the TV. Our friends falls to never ending sleep.

Fright Night
          My dear friends here is a story about a boy who decided to go for a stroll in the darkest of nights, a boy who till this day has never been found…this is the story that was never told.
          Adam was a 21 year old man who believed he was the cleverest of all things. Him and his friends made fun of all those around. No one really liked these boys and one girl in particular wanted his crown. He came to the United States to find new victims and ended in the city of Houston where stories are told.
          One fine night set off for a stroll so sure that the darkness was not a terrifying site. He walked right into a grave yard all confident and bold as hand grasped his leg to the ground he fell. “I must have tripped on a branch” he told himself but the fright was yet to behold. A tap on the shoulder made him believe that his irritated cousin has come to give him a scream. However, when he turned his face paled as a woman with a crooked neck and red eyes gave him a glare.
“Are you my son?” she asked in despair
“No I am not leave me alone” he replied
“I am looking for my son, he killed me you see I seek my revenge tell me are you he?” she said grasping his shoulder tight
“Let me go you freak I don’t know you go away” he screeched
She got him at the waist and pulled him in tight no matter how he screamed he couldn’t put up a fight. He looked down to his legs where blood was spread. There was no tree branch it was a dead man’s hand! As he was being dragged underground the last words he said “I wish I hadn’t come why did it have to be me?”


Promise
You promised you would never leave me again
So what happened to your promise then?
Where did you go and why
Why did you have to lie?
Do you think I’m stupid or can’t see?
I understand that you’ve blocked me
I’ve been dealing with your games all my life
The way you come and go in and out of my sight
I’ve gotten used to your silly games
I put up with them even though they’re lame
Why can’t you see that I love you?
And I can’t figure out what to do
When you leave me it’s like I lose my sight
You’re my star in the night sky, my guiding light
Who are you and what have you done to me?
I have become hopeless can’t you see?
When I sleep at night its of you I dream
A thought so sweet I can float away in a rivers stream
I beg you now I’m on my knees
Don’t leave me alone I beg you please
You promised you would never leave me again
So what happened to your promise then?
Where did you go and why
Why did you have to lie?

Perspective
I close my eyes and see my life through someone else’s eyes
It looks so perfect and it feels so right but those scenes are lies
To you I might look so good but what about all the things I do?
Make up and cover up and standing only in certain angels what does it mean to you?
I sit along a sidewalk and watch along the road for something to come
Eyes so bright they light the sky a smile so wide I could die hotter than the sun
That button up shirt, that puffed up chest, who would of guessed
All those broken hearts and all those lies… is this another test
I used to love with all my heart but now I keep myself far
The lonely life I hate but it I prefer over a scar
I’m not a toy for you to play with then tear
I’ve been through the worst it’s been a curse but I’m not scared
Since I was a kid all my dreams stayed behind shut doors
Trying to get them to budge makes me sore
Stories that were told expectations created for me
Love is nothing but a British cup of tea
Doesn’t taste good but is a habit to keep
It tires you out and forever you stay in blind sleep

Diamonds
Diamonds in the sky reflect in your eyes
The moon’s bright light turns into your smile
You smell of flowers bringing out the sighs
The nature of your walk being watched from miles
Even the sweetest bells can’t compare with your voice
Your hugs are blessedly tight
What mood you’re in even I can’t tell
But I just hope you smile
A second passes but it feels like years have gone by
I wait with a diamond ring
I will treat you like a king
Diamonds in the sky reflect in your eyes
The moon’s bright light turns into your smile

Walking on the Streams between Good and Evil
It’s only a matter of time before we all realize that good and evil goes beyond the aspect of life, that beyond even our greatest of imagination there are things- creatures per say that exist that are far more dangerous than we believe whether they be good or bad. Creatures that can destroy us just by having us see them or hear them, creatures the world we know cannot handle. I can tell you a story one that may send you into a mental hospital or have you die of fear and because I don’t know you…I will. A story about an enchanted forest where the streams between what is our world and another fiercer realm is thin. About to teenagers who thought they knew what to do but simply made things worse. This is the story of Alaina and Arsh.
Alaina and Arsh is a beloved couple that spent most of their time together on long walks. However, one day the two strayed off their usual path and ended up in a place they had never seen in the park: a forest filled with the strangest but most beautiful flowers ever seen, even the fragrance was none that a human has ever smelled, so precious was their discovery as they kept it a secret from the rest of the world. It became a usual place for them to hang out but one day they did something that would change everything.
“Arsh isn’t this flower just precious? I could keep it in my room and just enjoy the beauty forever! Arsh I want that flower” Alaina loved keeping flowers in her room and Arsh loved giving Alaina everything she asked for and so as she made the statement it was done.
Arsh picked the flower and handed it over to Alaina but something was odd, something had changed. Suddenly this beautiful purple flower had turned a dark brown and thorns started to stick out. As one stabbed Arsh on the finger, he dropped the flower as he began to bleed. How could this happen? How could it be? Something was not right something was strange.
Alaina stared at this occurrence with disbelief, how could such a beautiful garden create such damage? But then when she looked around the forest nothing looked the same. The trees that had hung so high and majestic now slumped over in greed. They threw shadows throughout the forest leaving nothing to be seen. What used to be a bright forest now became a shadowed place of doom. It seemed as if eyes peeked from all corners of the forest yet there was nothing to be seen. She looked back at Arsh who lay on the floor in pain. He too was seeing this change and shivered in fear.
“We should get out of here. Something doesn’t feel right. It’s odd what the flower did and even stranger what happened to the forest. We can’t just hang around and see what happens next.” Arsh stood and started to walk away with this comment but Alaina was not convinced.
“You’re right this isn’t normal but then when we found it we knew it was different. None of these flowers exist in our world nor do they have names, this forest is in a park and yet no one has ever seen it and that’s why we liked this place remember? Sure it isn’t comfortable here anymore but I feel that because we did this it’s our job to fix it too.” Alaina said grabbing Arsh’s hand.
He knew she was right and agreed to try but first they must get proper supplies. What had happened to the forest was not normal and lord knows what strange things wait ahead. First they will need something so they can see and other items to save them from whatever lives between these trees. So off the two of them went to get their supplies.
Alaina picked up a couple of flash lights, a knife, raw meat, a few snacks, and a sling shot. Arsh picked up a couple of flash lights, a dagger, a shovel, ropes, hooks, and a few other things he found in his dad’s storage. Than off the two went into the mysterious forest once more. However, when they reached there the forest had gone back to its beautiful self and the rose was gone. They decided to go on in anyway just to see why the forest had changed the way it had.
They agreed that they would not pick anything or move anything out of place. It was simply safer with the light and the forest at its calm. They walked deeper into the forest wondering what they would find and what they found was astonishing. Only a few feet away from where they started they found a river flowing it glittered and glistened in a rainbow beauty. Around it were creatures only found in fairytales. A lion body with bunny ears and horse’s tail, a camel’s hump with a giraffe’s neck and a lion’s tail, and many other creatures as strange as these. But what astounded the two teenagers most was that they were actually talking!
“I say it’s a wonderful day to take a walk don’t you think? My wife at home is quite excited that our children have gone out to play while she takes a day off in the Sun.” said one in a deep male voice. He almost sounded tired and old.
“Is that what you’re worried about? The break you are getting?! Oh dear how sad. You see last night I heard that our forest had been touched! A creature unlike ours picked one of our dear flower friends! Now isn’t that rude!” said a more sharp bell like voice.
The creatures continued their conversation as Alaina and Arsh walked away quietly not wanting to know what the creatures would do if they saw the humans. As they walked along the side of the river they came across a bridge that would let them cross to the other side.
“This side looks like we will never find answers lets cross the bridge maybe there is something there.” Alaina said thinking about the odd creatures.
“You’re right let’s go I want to know more about what we just saw. What are they? And HOW?!” Arsh replied exasperated.
The two crossed the bridge in no time at all but what they found on the other side frightened them and made them want to turn back. In front of their eyes was the forest they had seen after picking the flower but now it was alive! They could hear the place breathing almost as if it had been waiting for them both Alaina and Arsh grabbed their weapons close as they felt they had made a mistake. Arsh looked at Alaina afraid he would never see her again he began to soak in her beauty. Her glistening blue eyes that made him fall in love with her so many times, her brown silky hair that so elegantly flows over her shoulder, her rosy lips that had always drove him made when they would curve up to a smile, and her soft skin that brought comfort many times before when he needed it. I hope I see her again. I can’t lose her I love her; I will die protecting her if I must. He thought with a desperate mind.
Alaina knew what Arsh was thinking and she knew she felt the same way. She couldn’t imagine a world without his green-gray eyes or his perfect blonde hair or even his soft reassuring smile. She didn’t want to let go of his warm touch that always reached her heart if they were to die they would die together and that was a promise. Now as they slowly walked on they heard footsteps coming towards them and they froze.
Alaina pulled out her knife as Arsh pulled out his dagger and they stood back to back ready to face whatever came their way. However, what came out was nothing but an odd little insect creeping along. It had wings of a butterfly and body of a caterpillar with all its legs and a stinger of a bee. “What an odd little creature. Honestly the creatures in this forest look like they’ve been created by taking random parts of our creatures and gluing them together! And what a sound this little thing can make! It sounded like a bear!” Arsh exclaimed with shock and relief. What harm can a little insect do?
Soon an entire bucket load of them appeared and they slowly crept toward the humans. “Odd creatures are we? We will see about that! How odd are you? You barge into our home and invade our privacy and call us odd? What a shame it will be to eat you” said one with an eerie cricket type sound.
Arsh knew that it was time to get away but how? They were surrounded and there was nowhere to run but deeper into the forest and if they did that there was no telling what they would find or if they would be able to find their way back. He grabbed Alaina’s arm and ran into the forest. They could worry about the rest latter but first to escape. The little creatures flew after them but soon left as they reached an opening. It was an odd place in the shape of an eight edged star that looked big enough to be its own little forest. Although it was still day it was pitch black here and so Alaina and Arsh turned on their flash lights. In the middle of the opening was a fountain a dark one with oil like water inside. It was turned off and didn’t seem as though it had ever been used the surrounding wall was cracked every which way and the statue of a baby boy lay waiting to spit the water out. The odd part was that the baby’s eyes looked real! As if they were really watching; human eyes; a dark black color that would keep you from turning they captured your gaze. It looked as though the baby had been crying there were tears rolling down the eyes but of course that’s not possible but then again what they have seen so far…
They aimed their flashlight into the odd water and gasped at the sight. Headless bodies of infants and females drowned and bleeding! The water wasn’t black it was red! What frightened them more was that the bodies were still moving trying to escape almost as if from invisible chains. They quickly backed away and turned to go a different way. They soon came across a stone with writing on it that read: those who enter the forest are never to return. Doomed are they to be the life of the forest, the puppets from which the forest lures its prey. Where good and evil dance a dance of death beware the sight and sound of their raft. Good balances evil but neither are your friends.
“Ok now I am officially terrified. What is this place? Why wouldn’t we want to mess with good? Arsh I think we should get out of here” Alaina said backing away from the stone.
“No we have to stop this thing if I’m right than good and evil isn’t of our world this like hell and heaven or something and we crossed the bridge from heaven to hell and earlier when we picked the flower hell came to us. That means whatever lives in these forests can come out to the real world because of us.” Arsh replied.
So off the two went to figure out how to solve the mystery of the forbidden forest. What they soon found however are the confusious trees. They couldn’t remember what they did or when Alaina would hold Arsh’s hand and not know until after a while that she had done so and Arsh could talk about anything for hours before he even realized he was talking. They knew something was not right. Soon they past these horrid trees and moved on to the garden of poison. They knew they could not touch anything here because they read the sign that said so. 
You
Diamonds in the sky reflect in your eyes
The moons bright light turns into your smile
You smell of flowers bringing out the sighs
The nature of your walk being watched from miles
Even the sweetest bells can’t compare with your voice
I’ll be with you forever and never let you go
I’d keep that smile going if I only had the choice
When the storms come tomorrow I will be your umbrella
And when sun shines again we will walk hand in hand
Now I must tell you here in your arms
It feels nice to be in this rain
It’s the sign of love’s beautiful stain
It’s like dancing in wonderland
Just having fun that’s the plan
We got our gang what can I say
Call up your parents were gonna be late
We here our favorite song so let’s get it on
Let’s get it started before it’s all gone
The queen of heart has started to sing
The white queen gave Alice the magic ring
And now I’m giving you the wedding ring
We had our fights and it’s alright
Now it’s our time to shine
And I can’t help but say that it’s ok
I feel that I know since the beginning of time
That you and that I belong together in this life
It’s a song and it’s a fact that I will never let you fall
I know Mr. Rabbit knows its time
And mad hatter knows the rhymes
They’ve got a party goin’ on and they are ready
Fireworks are gonna fly cuz  it’s our time
And if anyone asks or anyone says than this our fact
That you and I were written into faith
And you and I were never too late
And you and I are a perfect couple
So let’s run off to wonderland
Everyone is waiting
Everyone is staring
And everyone wants to know
How we became what we are today
