Authors Note: The end of the novel of Jekyll and Hyde portrays the idea of being enslaved by our curiosity and want for answers and how powerful it is. We always want to know more than what may lay in front of us; we need to know the deeper meaning and moral, but why? Why do we question everything? I wonder why....
Why are my eyes drawn to an accident?
Why do we I trouble believing?
Why do I ask questions?
Why do I thrive for more than what is already known?
It is a habit.
It is a necessity.
It is a want.
I want to know more.
I want to know the missing pieces.
My sanity has dispersed and forever lives another me.
Living by the curiosity of the unknown.
I have enslaved and confined myself.
Yet I live off of the mysterious question.
It reels me in and doesnt let loose.
For my heart shall be put in my ears.
Silent.
Listening.
Absorbing.
Remembering the importance of life.
But rather I deny the right
And fight for the wrong
Why do I care so deepily?
Nothing really matters in the end.
Its an addiction that I can't get off of.
Transforming me into the face of evil.
The face of another me.
I trapped inside my own curiosity.
It is killing me.
I need to stop.
But how?
The answer only lives within me.
But I do not have to key to unlock it.
Forever I curiously wait.
Forever I wonder why...
WOW! This was awesome! I got shivers at the end. I loved the repetition. The only thing I would do is read it out loud to yourself before posting it because there was some small errors but once again, wow. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteWow...your writing always impresses me. This is something I wish I could do...have ideas pop in my head and be able to put them on paper like its nothing. I can't do that. I always get lost in my train of thought...maybe you might just need to teach me!! But good job Emma. Like usual, I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteEmma, this is seriously amazing! It brought on a completely new view to me! I never really thought about all of the questions we as humans ask, this has really opened my eyes to it. Your diction and repetition really added to it, making the reader think a lot more! Besides a few little language errors, this was an incredible piece! Great job!
