Machinations of the mind

 

He smells the fear. Adrenaline floods his system. Each breath the frightened boy takes is harsh, sobbing, hysterical. The predator will not stop. It will never stop. How can it, when all it knows is death? But he cannot linger on that poetic thought that dances in the back of his mind, for it is nothing. Not compared to the sheer weight of fear, which overrules all reality and dominates the mind.

 

Domination...it’s a curious concept, one which the back of his mind, unaddled by fear, contemplates. That thinking part knows also that whatever it thinks about will not be dredged up by Hayden until he is an older, wiser person than he is capable of being now.

 

That’s another thing to think about. Maturity. Wisdom. Age. But there is the possibility that Hayden will never become any of those things. He’s fleeing right now. Danger threatens. That very hidden part of his mind turns the problem over and over until it arrives at a solution. A solution sparked by the realization that he’s running toward a deep lake.

 

WAKE UP! It screams. WAKE UP, WAKE UP, SEE THE REAL DANGER!

Dragon's Fire and Owl's Eyes

 

Venture on if you dare,

for the night hides secrets

Secrets are dangerous in their hidden machinations,

for casting a light upon them can be futile; the brightest of lights

create the darkest of shadows

 

What can we do,

then?

How can we dispel the secrets and their danger?

By learning to not need the light

and see clearly in total darkness of the mind

 

Let dragon's fire warm your heart

and take on the eyes of the owl and the

ears of a bat

Things will be clearer now

When doubt disappears so does fear

When fear disappears so does conflict

When conflict disappears there is only

Inner Peace.

Heart of Gold

 

January 1st, 2009

Dear Diary,

 

I see so many things around me that I do not understand. My friends at school are dressing in clothes that are far too tight and expose a lot of skin. All the boys seem attracted to them when they do this, which makes them do it more. Just today I saw Alicia hiding in the locker room with one of them. They were kissing and he was touching her body really inappropriately.

 

What do I do? When I tried to bring it up with Jordan, she brushed me off and said, 'What are you? An oldie? Go get laid!'

 

Seeing these things makes me hurt inside. I want - no, need - my friends to like me. But what would make them like me besides dressing so weirdly and having sex? Without my friends, what am I? They always gave me good advice before. I could hang out with them.

 

They're not my friends now. Not any more.

Dear Diary,

 

Today I found a new friend! His name is Caleb and he hangs out down in the computer lab like I do. He just came to this school but already the other boys don't like him. He's considered a nerd and a creep.

 

We hung out today. He likes a lot of the same games as I do - Dragon Age, Avatar, Assassin's Creed - and already it feels like we're siblings. Could this really be true? It seems too good, too nice to be happening to me. But I guess I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

Dear Diary,

 

Caleb is 13 now. He just celebrated his birthday and I had a lot of fun at the party. We've been hanging out a lot after school playing Assassin's Creed multiplayer or racing games. His Dad asked for a joke when we were gonna get married.

 

Those girls who used to be my friends started being mean to me now. They put garbage in my locker the other day! Smelly banana peels and coffee grounds...yuck. I know it was them, because they also grabbed my hair in class when the teacher wasn't looking. It's really bad. Why are they doing this? I never did anything to them.

 

At least Caleb is in most of my classes. He tries to help me, but they only hurt him too when he gets between us. All of this makes me feel awful! Those girls are trying to ruin my life!

Light is Lost

 

Songs are sung,

the world is done

Light is fading o'er the horizon...

 

Magic's gone,

but for how long?

The night is different than the day...

 

Don't be afraid to stand if you're broken

steady your trembling nerves

For the light will come again, my dear,

The Light will come again
