Sara Jane’s Lament

May 24th, 2012 / Categories: Moose Nuggets, words / 3 Comments »

With all the angst in the FaceSpace world, Sara Jane found herself reeling. Words and sentiment were bandied about constantly: You whore! You slut. LOL. LMFAO. Friends friending – then un-friending at each perceived slight.

“I’m so lonely, but nobody must know.

I should update my status – EVERYONE must know.”

It was easier when she was just a blogger. Now people peeked into her every move. Inside her heart she could hear her mother tsk-ing and feel her shaking her finger in her face.

Child, you’ve certainly made a spectacle of yourself now, haven’t you?

Mother, please! It’s my life!

Goodbye

“Let’s face it. It’s all about me.”

Richard slammed the door. An ending – a finality of emotion wrung from my heart.

He was gone. He was gone and I was left here alone.

I found the note – placed precisely in the center of our hospital cornered bed.

Amanda –
No more lies. I want to be here. I can’t be here. I feel life passing me by and I cannot bear it.

If I stay I will lose more of me than I can stand to lose. I need to be free.

Let’s face it. It’s all about me.

Goodbye

A darker challenge from Lance and Frelle, with Lacuna Coil’s Within Me. And, again, it will come as no surprise to you to know I’d never heard this song (I know, what DOES the Moose do with her days???) I am enjoying these challenges because they encourage me to widen my musicality somewhat.
