Storyteller

Come and let me tell you a story,

A story about a kind yet lonely storyteller.

All alone she lived in the mountains,

Rarely leaving but always listening,

Always watching the world that lie below her.

Alone she spent her time weaving stories,

Creating worlds from her imagination.

Always lost in thought,

Always dreaming of another place.

Why she stayed though,

Was because she was a broken person.

All alone she lived in the mountains,

Rarely leaving out of fear of the world,

Yet she always longed to know more.

To see and hear the world,

To learn more stories,

To experience the things she had only dreamt about.

Alone she spent her time weaving stories,

Creating worlds from her imagination.

Letting herself become lost in the dreams,

To escape the world she both loved and hated.

Because its people were both so kind yet so cruel,

Because she was always alone in the end.

Let me tell you story,

A story with no happy or sad ending,

One still unfinished.

All alone she lived in the mountains,

Rarely leaving but always listening,

Always watching the world that lie below her.

Alone she spent her time weaving stories,

Creating worlds from her imagination.

Always lost in thought,

Always dreaming of another place.

For she was a broken and delicate soul,

Easily hurt, easily broken,

Always alone in the end.

Yet still full of wonder,

A still flawed and hurt,

But gentle soul.

Let me tell you a story,

To forget the pain,

To ignore the pain,

The sadness and hate.

To let everything go,

To escape for just a moment.

All alone she lived,

Always silently weaving stories.

Rarely leaving,

Yet always watching,

Always remembering.

She was a broken and delicate soul,

Easily hurt, easily broken,

Always alone in the end.

Rarely leaving out of fear of the world,

Yet always longing,

To experience the things she had only dreamt about.

Come and let me tell you a story,

A story about a kind yet lonely storyteller.

A story still unfished,

One that is neither simply happy or sad.

But instead, let us escape.

Go to another world,

Born from our imaginations,

Our dreams and wishes,

Our hopes and prayers.

There I want to stay,

There I find myself free.

All alone she lived,

Always silently weaving stories.

Rarely leaving,

Yet always watching,

Always remembering.

She was a broken and delicate soul,

Easily hurt, easily broken,

Always alone in the end.

Yet still full of wonder,

A still flawed and hurt,

But gentle, loving soul.

One who both loves and hates,

A lonely girl who continues to weave,

To create stories,

A world of her own,

While all alone,

In her painful sadness,

Her happy dreams;

Wordless Prayer

How long have I silently been begging,

Quietly whispering a wordless prayer.

That my very soul clings to,

A hope that has yet to be answered.

Nothing can express it,

No words, no emotion,

Not a single thing can.

It’s a question without an answer,

An answer without a question.

Why do I so easily lose myself to stories?

Fantasies that are my escape.

Why do I lose myself to dreams,

To thoughts of another world of my creation.

I can’t explain, I can’t describe,

What it is that makes me who I am.

For I don’t even truly know myself.

So many words I have spoken,

So many words I have written.

Indomitable, hope, dreams,

Pain, thoughts, so many words,

Too many for me to remember.

Too many to describe.

How long have I silently been begging,

Quietly whispering a wordless prayer.

That my very soul clings to,

A hope that has yet to be answered.

A hope I put into stories of my own,

Even as I cling to my memories,

The thoughts, the feelings,

Everything that is now gone,

And will never happen again.

Time keeps moving,

Even as I beg for it to stop,

To turn back to what I wish to keep.

Yet, it seems the world does not care for me.

Even a god it seems, if they exist,

Does not care for me.

Why I ask, for what reason,

Am I even here?

My heart is fragile,

My mind is flawed,

My soul is screaming,

Why was I born broken?

Why am I this way?

Please why, is all I ask.

Yet nothing, has answered me.

How long have I silently been begging,

Quietly whispering a wordless prayer.

That my very soul clings to,

A hope that has yet to be answered.

A dream that is simply a dream,

One that my very soul clings to.

Silently weaving, quietly existing,

Is the silent storyteller,

Who remembers all,

But is forgotten by the world.

That is all that I am,

A storyteller,

A star made of glass,

A lost bird,

A wandering soul,

That’s stuck in between.

Just who am I?

Why am I here?

Even as I cling to my memories,

The thoughts, the feelings,

Everything that is now gone,

And will never happen again.

So many words I have spoken,

So many words I have written.

So many,

Too many for me to remember.

Too many to describe.

Nothing can express it,

No words, no emotion,

Not a single thing can.

It’s a question without an answer,

An answer without a question.

Why do I so easily lose myself to stories?

Fantasies that are my escape.

Why do I lose myself to dreams,

To thoughts of another world of my creation.

I’m crying as I smile for you,

I’m screaming out,

Even in the calming silence.

I only pretend to be strong,

Even when I am,

I’m not.

I’m afraid of falling,

I’m afraid of staying broken,

I’m afraid so many things,

Things that nothing can describe.

How long have I silently been begging,

Quietly whispering a wordless prayer.

That my very soul clings to,

A hope that has yet to be answered.

A dream, that is just a dream,

The hope born from a child’s love.

A love my now heartbroken soul,

So delicately embraces.

A love, a light, a star of glass,

My wordless prayer.

That is all I am,

Even at the very end;

“Silently weaving, quietly existing,”

“Is the silent storyteller,”

“Who remembers all,”

“But is forgotten by the world.”

“All while quietly whispering,”

“A wordless prayer.”
