Sunset sat down, opening her sketch book to a new page. The sun was slowly setting, the mockingjay still chirping the valley song. Sunset sighed, taking a HB pencil from behind her ear and started sketching the setting sun, exaggerating the rays of light ever so slightly. She then took out her box of paints and chose the fiery colours to paint her picture. Red, yellow, orange, ochre and gold. Sunset dried the paintbrush and put it back in the box, shutting it. She stood up, humming.
Power
Was all I desired (I desired, all I desired)
But all that grew inside of me
Was the darkness I acquired
When I began to fall
And I lost the path ahead
That's when your friendship found me
And it lifted me instead
Sunset ran, touching the clock tower with her rough hands
Like a phoenix burning bright
In the sky
I'll show there's another side to me
You can't deny.
I may not know what the future holds
But hear me when I say
That my past does not define me
'Cause my past is not today
Her mind wandered back to the past, when she threw the pictures of her old self in the bin
Ambition
Is what I believed
Would be the only way
To set me free
But when it disappeared
And I found myself alone
That's when you came and got me
And it felt like I was home
Like a phoenix burning bright
In the sky
I'll show there's another side to me
You can't deny
I may not know what the future holds
But hear me when I say
That my past does not define me
Sunset rose in the air, phoenix like wings growing out of her back. It was like she was re-born.
'Cause my past is not today!
Then she disappeared.
