PROLUGE The cozy bubble of life burst, Sprinkling fragments around her, Overwhelming feelings enveloped her, As she began to trust. She allowed them to know her core, Beneath the sparkle and shimmer, One that enclosed a light turning dimmer, With every brunt or prize, she bore. She turned that world upside down, Of whose she was the commander, She brought upon herself un-needy tatter, Which broke through dusk and dawn. Once again, she pulled the reins, She summoned all the light she could, All the radiance she thought she should, She built a staircase of her pains, And conquered it with all too many gains. That's Natalie in a nutshell. A used to be 'keep to herself person'. She wore her heart on her shoulders and stood with a smile on her face. That was all before she let people in. They began to mean as much as family did, but then she broke. Rather 'events' broke her. One after another problem crushed on her but she never gave up on them, until one day she just did and so did they.
