I've always felt a connection to the phrase "our hearts are wild creatures, that's why our ribs are cages."

When I read it the first time i fell in love with it. It was something I'd been trying to say for years but could never get it quite get the words to flow. I was so thankful when I read it and it's always been one of my favorites.

I put it as my profile picture because before anyone read my account I wanted them to know a little but about me and my opinion and when I found out it fit in the bubble perfectly, I knew it this was the one.

And that's it.

Every night

She begged for death

Through shuddering gasps

Teeth clenched tight

Hoping each shallow breath

Would be the last

Well Lynn's not an alias as something like "raindowStar237" but it's not my first name or pet name. Lynn is actually my middle name. I chose it because I didn't like the way my nickname sounded or looked scribbled across the bottom page when all my writing was manual. I used Lynn to stamp what work was mine so I thought it would be appropriate for that to be my name here.

Me, as a writer.

I think I have a problem -

I am addicted to Prose

I find myself waking earlier every morning just to read what everyone wrote while I was dreaming. But I am afraid, I didn't wake up early enough to read everything that was posted last night. So with a sad heart I shall go to work. Thinking of all the wonderful stories that I haven't read. Watching every minute until I can be free to read. So be patient with me. I will get through it all eventually. I suppose I will have to start waking up even earlier as our community grows. Because there is no cure for the addiction of Prose.
