I don't know what to say about this piece at all. It's just me, it's more my style. I write about personal things. I suppose most of it sounds like fantasy, but this is actually how I think.
Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can see myself more clearly than if I were staring straight into a mirror. I see me, floating. Nothing above me, nothing below me. It’s pitch black, but I’m not afraid. Somehow I welcome the darkness and embrace it. I’m surrounded by music, this wonder symphony plays on and on and I’m caught up in it. Then out of nowhere, the sun begins to rise, blanketing the dark sky in a crimson red and filling me with the purest light. Then I see below me the bluest deepest ocean. The water is so clear, that I can see fish and whales and other sea creatures swimming below me. That’s what I want it to be like when I open my eyes. I want to be free. Who I am in real life is a façade. The real me, is that girl, flying as free as a bird into that sunrise. Nothing above me, nothing below me..........

Nice little piece. | Written by Phil (6730 comments posted) 4th January 2008 | Interesting to have an insight into another psyche. I'd be interested to know how old you are - it seems like a vision of the young, not middle aged. (Not a suggestion that the writing is immature BTW.) PMed.

My one critique is your use of the phrase "free as a bird" because it is such a common expression. Your writing is unusual and fresh enough that this seemed odd. Otherwise, I loved this. You truly have a wonderful voice. Amelia | Written by Lizzy (800 comments posted) 4th January 2008 | I did like this. Lovely images.
