To begin a new chapter is frightening. It haunts me . Like a child scared of a boogie man. The previous wound hasn't healed yet, but  I try not to look at it. Like the dried blood , but there is excruciating pain . I want to begin a story with you. A new story. Not a fairytale. A tale. I want to be bold with you. I want to loose the layers and be naked. Judge me if you need to! I won't care. I beg you to be honest with me. Be real. Let me be your only choice. Hold me tight. Don't make me feel like an ashtray! If you do, I shall be hollow. Encore! And the starry sky would be smoky! To begin again is frightening!

You are flawed. Yes. You! You are flawed.   You might not fit into a size 2 dress. You have short legs. Your hair might be frizzy. You have big chest. Your gums are seen when you smile. Your shoe size might be higher than 8. Your face has pimples like moon has craters. You have sacks under your eyes.  You have"untoned" legs You have freckled skin. You have two baby teeth still. Your have two left feet. Your ears are huge. You no longer fit into last year's dress. You have tiny eyes. You have uneven nails.  You don't get a weekly pedicure done. You have uneven teeth. You don't have skinny legs. You have handle bars. You are flawed. Yes. You are flawed. Beautifully flawed.

The sun peeps out from behind the dark clouds, so does the melancholy show up on her happy face.  Sun and clouds play hide and seek, her feelings oscillate similarly. Rain pours down.Flooded with tears,she was too. Euphoria?Agony? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jealous of the union of sky and sea, the clouds thunder in rage. Little did they realize that the perfect union from afar is a mere illusion.
