Virtue~ &quot;You don&#039;t need a reason to help people&quot;- Zidane, FFIX<br /> <br /> Despair~ &quot;To be forgotten is worse than death&quot;- Freya, FFIX<br /> <br /> &quot;Someday I will be a queen, but I will always be myself&quot;- Garnet, FFIX<br /> <br /> Sorrow~ &quot;How do you know that you do exist...maybe we don&#039;t exist&quot;- Vivi FFIX<br /> <br /> &quot;If Nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there are may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that - arm things, kind things, sweet things- help and comfort and laughter,- and sometimes cheery, kind laughter is the best help of all&quot;- A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Sara's Magic

I have it

Queen of Wonderland

I am

Ink-blooded, art breather, and thoughts sniffer

Tears fall and I cast my spell

Writ it off

A smile blossoms in my garden

Lie and Live are in Believe

White lie to the Fates

Live on magic papers

"Wishful think

Whimsical ink

Phoenix born from fire

Grant inner desire"

I hope to have my dears remain by my side

"Enchanting escape

Season of grapes

Magic in air

Let me be there"

To be with him if not in life, then in pages

The author's comments:
There are about five different references I made to different books and stories I have read and loved in this piece. I wrote this when I thought I was in love with someone else and truly believed writing was very much like magic. When you write in a journal about how bad your day was or how that one boy broke your heart you're casting a spell of relievement of the pains you were feeling.
I later realized I never loved the other boy but I wrote this as I thought I did when I was with the person who really meant more to me than my very existence. So this will be for him instead.
