Growing Up
Was BluSparrow on Ficlets
Do you recognize me?
Yes, I changed my hair.
Yes, these clothes are different.
My confidence is showing,
I wear no mask these days.
Lost
Standing alone.
Surrounded by people,
A familiar feeling.
Not supposed to feel alone,
Not supposed to want to leave.
Everyone tells her how to be.
.
And one day
She decided to not pretend anymore.
The real ones stayed,
The fakers, the directors left.
.
Found
Surrounded by friends.
Full of support,
An unfamiliar feeling.
It was painful, it was beautiful.
She found herself,
She found the sun,
And it was real.
Prequels
No prequels yet. Why not write one?
Sequels
No sequels yet. Why not write one?

In the time I've been doing these 1,024 character stories (has it really been over 10 years since I first found Ficlets?), this is one of the most amazing things I've read. Really well done!

A story of realised hope. There are far too few of these in the world.
