I wear happiness like a mask,
Yet inside, shadows quietly bask.
The sky I touch, not soft nor free,
But a tethered rope that’s holding me.
Invisible walls, a prison tight,
Unhappiness, no hope in sight.
While joy’s a sky, so vast and wide,
But is it real, or just a guide?
I wish to break the smiling chain,
And feel the depths of raw, pure pain.
For in that truth, I might just find,
A freedom that’s not far behind.

It's Winter
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise —Write a scene involving two characters. Have the point-of-view character presume something entirely different about the situation from what the other character's overt behavior seems to imply. For example, a landlord comes to visit, and the tenant suspects that it isn't a visit but an inspection. Make up several situations in which one character can fantasize or project or suspect or even fear what another character is thinking. The Objective - To show how your characters can use their imaginations to interpret the behavior and dialogue of other characters.

How I Overcame the Stranger Things Finale
Regardless of your thoughts on the finale of Stranger Things, there are many of us around the world reaching a collective close to a chapter in our lives. When our favorite stories or series end it’s a time where the word melancholy seems most useful. The kind of sadness that you can’t quite explain. It may be the weather, the season, or a mixture of a number of things, but it generally is a solemn feeling for things of minuscule consequence that are often out of our control.
