To live in the cabin, The one on the hill. Surrounded by jasmine, How quant and tranquil. The sun shines on it The splendor of beauty. How perfect it fits. Far better than a city. Why do you care? I suppose I shouldn't. Why are you hanging there? Because I gave up. Why won't you breathe? Too much effort. Why won't you think? Once I start, I can't stop. Don't you miss me? ... You didn't fail. ... You're enough. ... You don't have to be alone. ... I'm here with you now. ... I won't leave you. ... Please don't leave me... ... ...please... ...

 Bowing down before the shadow of the cold figure before me. Many prayers are given daily to this statue. How often do we worship the stone? Do their hard ears hear? Or do their cold hearts love? The Speakers say so. They say to watch and pray. They say to trust and endure. Why should I bow down to this shrine of lies? Why should I heed the words of the blind Speakers? This empty faith is suicide. Why should I follow their drum beat when the wind and the trees call my name? My heart yearns for the freedom of truth. Today, I venture outside the chapel. Today, I am free from prison.

I travel daily through the mighty wilderness with my brothers to collect food. We provide for our whole country. Day in and day out we search for, and bring back food for everyone as our Queen has commanded. When I find something worth bringing back, I call for my brothers, and we lift it on our shoulders and carry it back through the great streets of our powerful fortress. This impenetrable castle was built and paved by the best this country has to offer and is maintained beautifully! I'm proud to be a part of the largest nation in the wilderness. We are protected by the largest, bravest, and strongest of soldiers out there. No nation or rival power can stand up to us... Well, accept one. The giants... They are massive and terrible beings that could easily trample even the greatest of armies under their gargantuan feet. Their steps send shivers through the ground, and when they come through the best we can do is hide in the protective halls of our stronghold. They tend to leave us...

 What do we do when the flowers fade? Do we buy new ones? Grow more? Press them? Dry them? Flowers are beautiful but fleeting joys. Do we treasure these short-lived wonders? Hold onto them, take care of them, be gentle with them. Flowers can be vibrant and have such a sweet odor. Why don't you take better care of your flowers so that they last? Do you even care? Flowerbeds line the perimeter of the house. Each with their own charm and eccentricity. Deep sleep amongst the petals pointing towards the sky. My eyes are closed, and my body lays low beneath the blanket of roots. The flowers drink in the rays of sun, swallow the rain of water, and chew the rot of my body. I love to see them bloom so bright and joyful. Under these beds do I rest so that the flowers can wake every morning and sing to the sky. Oh, how I love my garden.
