Nivvy's Story Buffet

  Hide and seek for the weak Sometimes when I find that one person i really really like, That one person that doesn't make me feel the need to smile and yell, The one person that doesn't make me fear the future, The one person that doesn't make me feel the need to stay silent to be loved, The one person that doesn't seem to love me enough I try my best to keep them and hold them to my heart, Holding them close before they depart, I fill in the gaps of what I fail to be, But I end up with someone just like me I try my best not to let them go,  I’ve modified and perfected my world, Shielding me with great walls of stone, I have tried my hardest not to let you go, But you still seem to seep through the gaps, You crushed the walls to shambles, And reduced me to actuality Realisation hits after reality had pierced through twice, I'm back to square one, Pretending, just to stay relevant, Just pretending, Just pretend

My words may scar, Wounds bounded by apologies, I hold my dagger, Plunge into both souls, Let us share a simultaneous fate, I’d kill to rid of this hex, Seeking a cure, the relentless chase,  Let us break free from this wretched spell, But perhaps the worst curse in the world, Would be to be silenced

I am scared, There is a lost world out there where fear ceases to exist, Oh, How I wish I was there instead of this I am stuck here in a world where fear is all you have, Oh, how I wish I could be in the lost world out there, I don't know what's beyond that line in the lost world out there, As you're pulling me back, my fear has held me here at nowhere, Now I can't do much as I am not in the lost world out there, Let me leave to reach the lost world out there, where fear has disappeared. When the day seeps into the hour of dark, I sit here sleepless and afraid, My heart skipping beats and my mind dreaming of being in the lost world... The lost world out there. They say there is always light, But it's too faint for me to find, Or could it be, I'm just too blind to see, For my bravery and courage has failed me? Now I sit here dreaming about the lost world, Oh, how I wish I could be in the lost world out there... I demand to face my fear today! Lead me out, or I...

  I remember. Waiting, waiting, and waiting. Waiting in line for my turn to perform. I never felt so anxious to sing. I remember getting in the car imagining the most interesting performance. I never thought it would take so long. I realized I was one of the last people to perform. All I could do while waiting was sit in silence. Waiting, waiting, and waiting. “37 to 42” my number was called. In my school, we had never been identified by numbers before, so I took a while to realize my number was finally called, but when I did realize, I felt this gush cold air, probably a sign of excitement. I walked along with the other performers, and we waited once again backstage! My palms sweated and I was shaky. My friend came backstage to see me. We chatted for a bit, but suddenly, out of the blue, my stomach gurgled, I rushed to the bathroom. It was the bathroom closest to the stage, I had never really gone there before. I know I wasn’t sick because of my nervousness, I wasn’t nervous enoug...

  It was a Monday; I woke up and hopped out of my bed as usual. It was early, around 6-ish. I was so excited for today as it was my birthday! During my birthday everyone was especially kind to each other which is what I like to see. They rarely fight and they always surprise me with gifts constantly! Who wouldn’t want a birthday like that? Unsurprisingly, since it was Monday, I was off to work, no I wasn’t sad, my colleagues would also surprise me… they are the best of friends! Jane, my older sister, also the boss of the fascinating facts magazine will be surprising me for sure! I was excited. Oh yes and before I continue just a little reminder, I’m Max Tuffin, I go on an amazing adventure with my friends and family. I work for the fascinating fact s magazine which is owned by my sister Jane. Anyways I was off to worked. I left my condo only to see my cousin Julie and my niece and nephew, Gemma and Christopher holding boxes, about to exit the building. “Happy birthday uncle.” My ni...
