Lynx had been sleeping when she heard a booming voice come from her speaker.
"Up and at 'em! Time for your training!"
Groaning, she threw a pillow at the wall and muttered, "Can't it wait five more minutes?"
In reply, she heard William speak up, "Dear, I've already let you sleep in for over an hour! Please do get up! I personally don't want to see you in the infirmary..."
She sat up and stretched, and sighed. "Alright, fine, do I at least get to go alone this time?"
"No, sorry dear. You'll be escorted to the gymnasium by a soldier. You won't be bound this time, however." Click.
She got up and wandered to the wall, knocking on where the

I Want a Jar of Happiness
If only there was a way
To stow your happiness for another day.
Just so that way people could be happy,
Not sad, or angry, or crappy.
Just think about it:
There would be something for those who have depression,
Those who just want so bad to quit,
And there would be no more problems with aggression.
Suicides would go down less,
And people would just be happier all around.
Our world is such a filthy mess
And is such a big let down.
So, science, why haven't we done this?
Why haven't you tried to help us?
We aren't just people you can dismiss...
We still have so much to express.

This One-Way Fight
Why do you do this to me?
What did I ever do?
You throw me out to sea
And watch the struggles you put me through.
We used to be so compatible,
What ever happened to that?
I know that relationships are fallible,
But I didn't think ours would be like that.
Please stop exploiting my weaknesses,
It hurts me so very much.
I thought that you'd be able to keep my secrets,
But I guess that I was and always will be your crutch.
Please, I really don't want to fight,
But you just won't give up.
I know that this just isn't right,
But I know that everything is going to blow up.
You worthless pile of nothing,
You can never do anything right.
Your voice is an annoying buzzing,
Nobody cares if you're alright.
Just give up already,
Since nobody wants to help.
No one cares if your heart is empty,
So you'll just have to do with self-help.
Go ahead and die, worthless.
Nobody will miss you.
Everybody knows you're helpless,
You have enough skin to cut into.
We've all been pretending
That we care so you wouldn't leave.
The reason we were faking?
So we'd have something to deceive.
It’s been a while, and I missed this feeling,
The feeling of water gliding down my face.
Now that they’re here, I know that I am healing,
And now I’m sure I know my place.
I’ve been alone for so long,
Depression my only acquaintance.
As long as that was true, everything went wrong,
I just had to have some patience.
I’m not used to having someone to share
These feelings that are churning inside.
You’re helping me repair
The feelings I thought had died.
This feeling of happiness
Is warm and fuzzy.
It’s not like sadness
That made my soul hungry.
I apologize if I’m clingy,
I’m just used to
There's so much to do,
You filthy little thing.
I am the one you listen to,
I am your King!
You must give me presents,
You filthy little wretch.
If you don't, there will be quite a turn of events,
So go now and fetch!
HA! You think that I care?
You think that you amount to anything?
All you are is a little beggar.
Your life has no meaning.
You are mine forever,
Don't you ever forget that.
I am the only one who is clever!
Talk again and you'll go SPLAT!
Do you like my little pets,
All those filthy little rats?
Here, you'll never forget
Everything that happened to you, lass.
You better behave, wretch,
My Princesses are gentle.
Now, my gift
The part of me that you don't know,
Hidden so far beneath the skin.
The part of me I want to let go,
Hidden so deep within.
That part of me will scare you so,
I know this because it scares me.
That part of me, it will throw
Screaming bodies into fire with glee.
It'll watch as your bodies break under pressure,
And laugh as your brains splatter everywhere.
Your limbs will surely be severed,
So I beg of you to beware.
This personality hates all of you,
With your whining and crying.
It wants human kind to be through,
And it finds blood to be very satisfying.
Go ahead and start begging,
But it won't do you any good.
I suppose you should start

The Loss is Worse
Slowly, my walls did fall,
Your gentle waves pushing through.
You came and pushed away the squall
With your gentle sun and wind that blew.
I let you in when others were kept out,
Well, don't you just feel especially unique?
What do you mean you have something to talk about?
Of course I will let you speak.
What do you mean you don't like me?
This was all just a joke?
Of course I'll let you be free,
A friendship is, after all, something you can revoke.
So my walls will need to be built higher and stronger,
I can't let this happen to me again.
If I do, I won't last any longer,
After all, I really don't need a friend.
I'll build up my walls w

For the Worried Mother
My happiness has been shattered
Thanks to those who told me I wasn't enough.
My spirit has been battered
From those who looked at me with so much disgust.
It's not your fault that I'm this way,
So please stop bringing yourself down.
They all thought it was child's play
That just made me frown.
It's not your fault that you didn't notice,
It's mine for hiding it all from you.
You have always thought of me as your pretty lotus,
While they thought of me as the cause of their stomach flu.
Mommy, please believe me when I tell you this:
I always have and always will love you.
I'm not this way because of your remiss,
But it's because of you I have
“Miss? Miss, are you awake?”
Lynx grabbed her pillow and threw it in the direction of the voices. “Five more minutes…” she murmured.
“You won’t wake up for even me, darling?”
Her eyes flew open, her body tensing up. What was going on today? She sat up and stared at the figure in front of her.
“I know that you had a fight yesterday, and that you need your sleep, but I wanted to congratulate you in person. Is that alright, or should I leave?” Uncle said with a slight smile.
“No, no i-it’s fine.” She stammered. He was absolutely gorgeous: blonde hair, pale, and b
