The Red Wasp

[Save]

"Everyday I wake up and see myself to the mirror, I see the scars covering my body... and the fake wings that have been given to me.

Everyday I wonder... what would have happened if he didn't go outside that day....

Perhaps he would still be alive.

Perhaps those monsters would have never killed him for... quote on quote 'purificating' the land.

I was only eight, I waited there... three or two days- I can't even remember clearly myself.

Matter is-- I was left alone, I'm unsure if those within my family even knew of my existence.

If so-- I'm disgusted at how they decided to leave me there... in the garden.

Huh... Gardens.

My dad used to sing a Lullaby as I was a small bratty child that never wished to sleep, that Lullaby always soothed my nerves.

I still remember that lullaby, it's one of the only things that make me feel closer to him."

Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waitin'
Right there where you left it
Lying upside down

When you finally find it
You'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter
When you turn it around

Everything stays

Right where you left it

Everything stays

But it still changes

Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly
In little ways

When everything stays

Go down to the ocean
The crystal tide is rising

Water's gotten higher

As the shore washes out

Keep your eyes wide open

Even when the sun is blazing

The moon controls the tide
It could 'cause you to drown

Everything stays
Right where you've left it
Everything stays
But it still changes

Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly
In little ways
When everything stays...

I miss you dad.... every single day.

I promise never giving up... nor in the darkest of nights, nor in the fiercest of situations.

I'll keep going forward,

I'll stay determined
Because I'm Lauric of Caewynn
I'm the wasp, I'm the wings of Determination.
