Round One: Excerpts From a Diary.

There is so much in my head, 

But I'll just stay mum.

I don't know my future,

I want a good one. I need a good one. 

I'm flattening dying roses in this book, 

I'll give them an afterlife of sorts. 

Listening to music, 

Envisioning lead roles for myself.

I gaze out the bedroom window, staring at the sky,

A billion thoughts running around a bonfire. 

I'm looking at the one who gave me life, scared.
