I brushed my arm into the cool waters as stars reflected upon the lake's sheer surface. Occurrences happen and I chose to be alone that's all it was. But no tears flooded my eyes. Sometimes I do run away; when fear controls us, isn't that what we do? Especially when you're hurt like this: that's right, we always run away. We seek shelter even if it means a cold night like this... is an only refuge.
A central piece, the lake with an exterior of colourless vegetation, perfect and finely trimmed. A circle whereby thousands of pine trees guarded the center with their height. That was the Aura Lake. It was quite an unknown spot around my area, but I liked it that way. People in my town just dismiss it and pay it not too much attention, it was really quite desolate. I often used to climb hill terrain with my dad when I was younger, and he'd put me up on his shoulders, just so I could get a glimpse of this very solemn place. From a bird's perspective the lake was really like a hollow pupil of the eye, dark, empty, deep and it was so much more.
My arms bled with miscellaneous cuts, my face black and blue, my neck swollen with red hand marks. This is how a Mother lets a child be beaten and humiliated. Disgusting, worthless with infinite anguish. This is how rotten people can be turned, into their blackened states, absence of pure kindness they once had. However, I'd already accepted that I'd never have any type of love again, even if it meant my heart was turned cold.
My heart bled when my father died. He died at sea. All my Mother could offer is a replacement who surely wanted our funds that what my father worked for and my mother prioritises. I lay back onto the grass, breathing in the clear air looking at the dark night. This world is beautiful and this is life. Life is grand and life is low, you accept both and it means you exist, you're human. That's all I needed, the fact that I was human. But still, I could never cry, never cry with any will inside me.
I fell asleep as the stars collected my echoing thoughts, I was at peace.
