The colors spread a little life into the scene.
There's something powerful in the way words throw ideas around.
Hope weighed heavy, like a bag of stones.
The quiet moments felt loud inside her head.
Life is too short to be wasted in front of mirrors.
She was a contradiction, both fierce and fragile.
Silence can be a shout too.
The past lingers like the scent of tea in a cup.
