I just blurted this out, no editing, no pauses. I just wrote. I was feeling so bad these days and so doubtful and I don't know who I am but I just felt the need to post this somewhere that would be seen

A boy was pondering his orb and in the orb he could see all and all could see him. He could travel the stars or roam the lands, navigate the seas and burrow in the earth; in all those places he found many little figures, an ant or a bird or a man. All of them had a thought and all of them spoke. Some of them weren't even real, just a mirage from a mirror that stole the light from what was reflected, and yet even those would speak to the boy. And the boy listened and listened and listened more, and his head would grow larger larger yet larger but could not ever explode.

For you see, the boy's head was hard as steel, and he wanted nothing more to crack it open, and see what was inside.

The pressure kept building, his temples throbbing with pain. It was a grotesque sight, a blasphemous pregnancy, and yet he ate and saw and heard and touched and smelled everything he could from his little glass orb. The orb was a mirror too, and while it fed the boy the visions, it robbed him of his soul.

But that soul was infinite, and was about to erupt.

The orb fell, the boy too. The head cracked.

Among the debris of sloppy visions a flower rose, it blossomed, and grew. The most radiant girl came out, and the orb tried to charm her too, but she was just born, and sought the sun. She walked out, seeking her light and the orb, was no more.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem/short story with me :)

I am proud of you for putting yourself out there. I hear you and I care about you. What is your favorite kind of flower?

Thank you for reading it

I like daisies a lot, i have a beautiful memory of them from when i was a child, in the park i used to play it was full of them. Although the idea of it kind of hurts sometimes because my ex girlfriend's name is Daisy, and my discovery of myself was a catalyst for the breakup. She was accepting of it but i mishandled the communication and we had issues independent of it, a lot of codependence.

But yes daisies are my favourite flower nonetheless, what's yours?

Daisies are a beautiful flower! I’m sorry to hear about your ex.

My favorite flowers are Calla Lilies although I don’t really have a specific reason like you. Actually maybe that’s not true. I love the way the green of the stem blends into the white of the flower seamlessly, and I made and painted a clay Calla Lily for my mom for Mother’s Day when I was in elementary school

Wow! Such a beautiful flower, although web pics surely dont do it justice. I love the memory it carried for you in this moment, did you make the clay flower yourself? I wish i had more artisanal experiences at school myself

[–] thestrike@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I did make it at school!
