Wow this is a great ficlet. Wonderful writing and show of emotions. I think you wrote about something a lot of us deal with. Fantastic job!

I agree with penguin! I like this! It’s the last line that gets me, though. So many possibilities with that one for a sequel..

I sequeled, though I really wanted to work on a more vain personality, this is toned down.

I tried again, this was more along the lines I had in mind originally. Two very different ideas from your last line. :) You can sequel yours too, you know! :)

This describes my thought perfectly some times… Sometimes you just want to fly away from it all, and live simply. Wonderful!

ya.. this is a beautiful poem. Well told, great imagery.
Well done..
