Strawberry Secrets
I hear their voices, they tell me that I have special powers
Powers that not many know of nor have
I smell the strawberry fields from which these voices emanate
My head throbs as every voice becomes louder and louder
I take another pill and everything seems to become quiet
The strawberry scent still lingers, but the voices aren’t so loud
A knock at my bedroom door signals the arrival of my mother
She announces her arrival and enters my bedroom
She inquires about my health and my day at school
I inquire about hers
Then she leaves to prepare dinner
"She wants me to tell her about the secret strawberry fields", I think to myself,
"She wants to conquer those fields and claim them as her own".
I can't think that about my own mother.
I shouldn't ...
The fairies would be disappointed if I told anyone that such a place existed
I open my window to get some fresh air, I can see those strawberry fields just beyond the edge of the forest
If only those fields didn't exist, then I wouldn't have to protect them from the others
If only they would believe me instead of thinking that I was insane...
