Daisy

So confusing just the thought,
Does he love me?
Does he not?
Is it worth it to keep wishing?
my intuitions all I've got,
It's the feeling that you get Should I hope?
Should I regret?
Should I lie awake in bed?
All thoughts racing in my head,
I pick a daisy every hour Betting love upon a flower,
Petals falling to the floor Makes me love him even more,
And then one day he came across,
A patch of daisies in the moss,
He picked one out and left it there,
So fresh and new upon my stair,
I walk outside,
So sweet to do,
And the petal read:
"I love you too."

Old Work :)

KORINE:
I had decided that I was going to Jump. As I look out towards the Mississippi; I take in the beauty of my last, perpetual sunset. My breathe loosing control as I enter into a full blown panic attack. I have lost all hope all humanity; in my mind I am already dead. The traffic moving behind me on the bridge doesn't bother to notice me, or seem to care that I am on the outer railing of the bridge. I pause to slow down my breathing and gather up my courage. I suddenly notice a caterpillar on it's back just inches away from my feet. I suddenly can feel a smiling creeping up in my face. It is comforting to see another thing that is equal to me. I imagine that I am just like that pathetic caterpillar-a nuisance to the world. It has no real purpose. People despise it because of it's appearance. It will most likely die on it's back like that. I don't dare to turn it over because I know I wouldn't want to be.
" It'll be all over soon." I say half comforting it and half comforting me.
I turn forward again looking down to my death. It's time. I take in a deep breath and jump.
    It all happen so fast like in the blink of a strobe light. As I started to fall I found my self not falling towards the river, but in an entirely different place.
In fact- I don't think all of science could explain what I was seeing right now- rays of every end of the rainbow spectrum were surrounding me; They are embracing me in fact. I am still falling at full speed, with colors- so many odd colors surrounding my head. Then as sudden as a rain drop; I stop in midair. I am now floating in what seemed like a bubble surrounding my little body. I gasp a mouthful of clean air as I see it. STARS- of every spectrum and color. I was in the mist of them in my little bubble. I, An outsider, gazing at their beauty from such a close....too close of a distance. Now water. With the colorful stars still within my vision-water filled the outer space. With in the safety of my bubble I begin to sink in this newly gathered water- completely different from the Mississippi. I sink and sink with the aliveness of what was occurring. Suddenly the bubble pops letting water rush all around me. I was sinking and could not longer hold my breath, but as soon as this happens the space that I was sinking in soon becomes the place where I float upwards to. That's when I see it, a hole ahead of me with light shinning out of it. I swim as fast as I can towards it. When I come closer to it I see trees. Then with all of the strength I have left I jolt upward. My head jerks back gasping in the freshly needed air. I look at my surroundings; I was in a tiny little pool of water with so many trees surrounding me. As I pull myself out of the water, I noticed the giant trees seemed to go on for what seems like forever. I also notice that there are several.....no hundreds of tiny little lakes like the one I emerged from. My mind is blown away; all of my rationality is no longer in existence. It is all so confusing. As soon as the thought strikes me, I see a butterfly. It is golden and so beautiful. It kisses the nape of my neck. Oh yeah, caterpillars become butterflies. I chuckle briefly for forgetting this, and turn my attention back to the butterfly that is now showing me around this strange place. I follow it, mezmorized. Then it finally comes to a stop, and rests on a certain lake and vanishes as quickly as it had come. There is still no rational thought left in my mind, so I just follow my instinct and jump into the water.
