Song Quote: Such A Shame
"Such a shame to believe in escape A life on every face
And that's a change 'Til I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame (Such a shame)
Number me in haste (Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
It's a shame"

Your Pov:
Staring deep into the void, eternity stares back at you. The before and the after.
The center of a vortex as energy chaotically swirls and swishes viciously in a never ending cycle.

Something tugs at your hair pulling your head through the darkness submerging you. You gasp when your body falls through onto the other side.

Before you shines an eternal night, stars shining in the sky amidst a green moon. A green haze coats the landscape as you stand in a forest alone.

Confused you look around for your friends; not a single soul in sight.

That is when you notice your hands. You hold them up and can see the light refracting right through you.
A ghostly green glow emits from your whole body. You gasp as your eyes spot the moon. It glowed the same ghostly green as you.

You jolt and tense in your bed. Heart beating in your ears as you sink deeper into the mattress.
Your eyes shoot straight up at the ceiling in the Destiny's Bounty. You were just sleeping.

The ninja had cleared out a storage room and set up a room for you and their other guests for the time being.
Glancing over you could see Echo resting in his bed while connected to a big battery.
Mindroid is busy playing videogames in the corner. He has his headphones on.

You are frozen for a while which leaves you stuck to the bed.

It's too hot and stuffy in this room. This reason overcoming the innate fear bubbling in your head and that makes you venture out of your room.

You needed the fresh air and cool down before attempting to call asleep again.

Wandering to the top deck of the Bounty you take a seat on one of the ledges overlooking the deck.

The moon is out tonight. Silver and shining in all it's glory amidst a clear starry night.

The image of the green glowing moon flashes in your eyes once again causing you to shutter as you try to stow the thought away for now.

You try calming down, hugging your knees close as the breeze pushes against your face. The stillness of the night takes you. Comforting in it's peaceful embrace.

It allows your constantly in motion mind to finally relax and not have to constantly think.

Usually.

Tonight the gears in your head are turning and static forming in your mind instead of thoughts. You try to think yet your consciousness seeps and melts into the feelings that are always there, watching you, haunting you all the time.

No thoughts form, only enveloped by the crushing weight of your own feelings.

It tenses your body making your back and shoulders ache. A place before sadness yet somewhere next to regret.

Maybe low self worth. It morphs and grows like a tumor, hard and heavy, crushing your spine making you want to yield over into a ball. Small and unnoticeable. Yet annoying and could become debilitating if left alone.

Perhaps the weight will eventually crush you. Maybe break you down and morph you into a perfect square. Leading your actions and allowing you to become the best version of yourself?
