Untitled 1
A girl walked across the Antarctican Plane,
Trekking across the desolate ice sheets, waiting for nothing.
She fell to the ground in sheer exhaustion,
The girl couldn't bear it anymore.
She had to give up, as it was the only valid option.
She took her coats and boots off,
and laid to rest in the snow,
thinking her last thoughts, and giving mental goodbyes.
She let the hypothermia kick in, and bid farewell to the frozen world she came to. |
I enjoyed it. There isn't much to be said - it seems fairly straightforward in itself. Just some dark mental imagery. Pretty nice.

I collapsed, my toes frozen, and my legs shredded in overuse
My heart thudded wildly against the delicate snow
I undressed, and flailed myself unto the crisp white below.
I prepared myself for an eternal sleep, and the world started to blur.
I let the frigid air wrap around my frozen, worn skin, and tighten its grip around my veins,
I looked at the stars above, dancing in the night sky,
Waving farewell to a poor girl's soul.
The sounds were incomprehensible, my heart thudding slower and harder,
I could feel the end coming, and nobody would care,
nobody would ever know.
no wonder why my english teacher gives me bad marks. |
I liked this one too, but I'm a little weary of your use of the words nowhere, nothing, and nobody. They are interesting concepts, but I think they're explored a bit too often nowadays.
I mean, I understand their use in this context - what with the frozen isolation and such. But I just think it would be more interesting, for example, if she indeed did have a destination in mind. If she have others who cared about her. What are her feelings toward them?
