Words

It doesn’t need steel to pierce through your heart and rip it apart
It doesn’t need reason to snatch your crumb and push you away

Difficult is not to be a black sheep among the whites
But to pretend to be white when you know you are not

She was certain of the time but no way could have been certain about the fate that was yet to unfold. Past the grounds of reasoning, logic, or calculation, imagination alone was her guide on this journey. There was neither confusion nor fear; but another feeling of a distinct taste was building up inside her. This time she was more rehearsed and had paid attention to the minute details in rectifying errors made in the earlier attempts.

In the field, lone stood a painted wall bordering a construction site with piles of...
