On societal expectationsThere are places in the world where people do not breathe. Rather, they move (or race) blindly from one thing to the next and hardly sleep, never dream. They don't stop to ponder the impossible; they don't cherish what they have. They assume, and take -- take unnecessarily, take things for granted and assume that they'll always be there.   
As for living in the moment, what's that? There's no time for that. Just focus on vanilla "dreams": little boxes (labels) of bread-and-butter ideals and high-achieving complacency. Don't worry your little head about other, more insignificant things, like movers and shakers who influence even in d On societal expectations

country that isn't countryMy name is Grace and I live in country that isn't country.  
 
I guess if you looked out the window, for all intents and purposes we are in the country. We had a very real bushfire threat earlier in the year, and from where I live, I can see Kinglake National Park and maybe about five other houses, all in the distance, of course. We have a dam, a veggie patch and a chook and duck shed. We're on tank water, and you can easily see where our septic tank is. We have about twenty, thirty acres, about five of which is rabbit haven, and a dry creek bed. We also have three steer, a heck of a lot of fruit trees and even more gum trees.   country that isn't country

the nuff-nuff birdhave you ever seen  the nuff-nuff bird?  it comes from the land  of all things absurd.  it has a bright pink, feathery  puffed up tail, and it makes  a call, much like a quail.   
it chuffs along like a  steam train: it's wings  are made of wheels.  their babies sound like  
angels when they sing,  but they snap at  their parent's heels.   
the nuff-nuff bird loves  the sound of rain, and  they always dance with their  
friends, the benanes --  in the rain of course,  they revel in rivulets  
and water drops.   
but that was the nuff-nuff bird

"cauterise me with your ego"cauterise me with your ego --  
what else do you want me to do?  please, favour me -- unkindly hail this predicament  
we're both in and perhaps,  perhaps the message will sink in to the others  (then it mightn't bite like a spicy salsa full of zest).   
already, the grinding stone's stuck and dried:  bones are turning to sinew and powdered  slime -- its time and past to turn the key,  but yet -- you wait and i wait --  
we wait...                   but for what?

more shameless self promotion

[link] [link] [link]

i felt kinda weird putting that up because everyone else who had to submit another 300 word story wrote stuff like 'my name is ....' and 'i live in .....' 'it has ......' and they were all pragmatic and straight to the point. and have actual content.

and then you get me babbling away about wanderlust and how apartments in the city really should just remain blocks of air and other things like that. =.=

hello.

i'm grace, i'm a seventeen-year-old with the mind of... i don't know. you tell me. but i don't feel seventeen.

words are my sanctuary, but i am by no means educated in them -- i live in a fortress of words, but sometimes people try to destroy it.

i want to change the world through poetry and show that teenage writers aren't necessarily bad, and be a mover and shaker, for the better. it doesn't mean i will succeed, but i can always try.

really, i'm a kid who spends too much time dreaming and wants to spend more time living.
