Flame

You are
A flicker of a flame
In the dark of a night
When day refused to come

A flame
That might die
Yet a small hope of time
Enough to save me from some

Breathless

Sometimes I feel like shouting at the world. I want to tell them my story. I want to tell them to stop. But I don't want to be pitied. I don't want to have to ask them to listen.

So I segregate myself from the world. Because then at least I can breathe a little.

Side Effects of Being a Law Student

1. Friends asking you for legal advice.
2. Not knowing the answers to your friends' questions so you tell them you're not qualified to give advice.
3. Friends insisting you answer in a friend-to-friend context so you answer something made-up with a million caveats.
4. Realising you don't know bat shit even though it's your third year in law school.
5. Asking yourself how the heck you got into law school in the first place.
6. Becoming an artist.
