Well here I am, revealed in all my gothic glory... I wear my striped stockings well don't you think? Before you going asking questions about who I am, and what I like to do let me paint you a picture on the easel of your mind, and you can judge your next question from there....
The sun is gently swallowed by the sky. Deepening from a soft shade of pink to deep purple, the sky is lost as the sun cries out in agony. With the last flash of the dying sun, the sky waxes into a dark blue. A perishing emblem of the loss of youth and the awakening of the night.
I listen to the night wind as it blows gently outside as I change. I look into the mirror and laugh at the reflection I see. Of course we all have a dark side, but how many people take pride in the fact that they have let it show? Or like me, make a habit of it? I mean not conforming to the general standards of society is a way in which I pass the time. When I wake up in the morning I put on what I not other people like. Who should any of this matter to except myself? So at night time I let go. Who cares but me?
I don my black clothes, I put on the makeup that will hide my own imperfect skin, and I let my hair flow loose and wild. The symbolism to me of these things is separating myself from others, setting myself free from all social hindrances and standards.
Staying out all night at coffee shops, and wandering neighborhoods is always entertaining.
With the first glint of the rising sun, I flee the light. Tired and ready for sleep, I race the dawn to our homes, to become what I am expected to be. When will it end I wonder to myself sometimes. When will I have to stop coming home and living the facade? I suppose never, because itís just human nature that we like to have something to fall back upon. I laugh at how much we as humans try to repress, but then again as I said earlier I hate conformity.
Any other questions? I am involved in Renaissance Faires, and renaissance dancing. Speaking of Renaissance Faires would you like to see a picture of me dressed up as a Faery?? I thought so. Well, here I am with my three friends.
I find beauty in all forms of art, but the art I produce is either poetry or writing which has a dark theme. I can sing, dance, and have been called a social butterfly. Don't quite know what else to tell you... if you are interested in finding out more about me, please feel free to write me at theladysedai@hotmail.com
