Healing (freewrite)

in #freewrite7 years ago

I scream, but there's pleasure in my screams. There is fire. Or no, there's fire on my skin, on my face. And it doesn't die and it doesn't stop, it just burns. Eternally and completely and continuously. I wonder, briefly, if it will ever stop. It hurts so badly, like you're pouring melted lava on my cheeks. I don't know what that would be like, you're right. Perhaps I'm just being silly. Perhaps it doesn't hurt so bad, after all.
I will survive, so no biggie.
I must.

I search for remedies, while I scream, while I burn and I cry, because I've tried all of them, and none of them work. I will not be cured. No, you must grit your teeth and bear it. Smile. And scream. And smile again.
But I can't. I can't. I can't. I wish I was strong enough to live through this, to survive, but you and I both know that I'm not that kind of person. And you and I , we're not that kind of people.
The kind who make it, who survive. Who live through the pain.

Neither of us will survive the burn and I think I know why, now. I also know why none of the remedies worked. Because we didn't get burned by the same Sun. I scorched under the heat of your sun, and you under mine and we both fell, crawling, in each other's broken arms.

Maybe all the people who came up with those remedies were burned by different suns.

And for different suns, there are different remedies.

Freewrite based on the word 'sunburn', part of the wonderful 5 Minute Freewrite Challenge, initiated by @mariannewest. Lovely lady, I encourage you to check it out here.

There's a lot of powerful imagery in your words (like the fire of love!)
Well done!

Thank you very much :)

I love the intensity and life in your words. The similitude with the different suns and remedies is powerful and original. My compliments, you pushed me to write better.

In this ancient martial art temple, the freewrite hombu-dojo, the great soke @mariannewest put me, her sempai, in charge of communicating the powerful moves on which we will train for becoming BBB (bananafish-black-belt):
Martial art technique n. 1, single prompt option
Martial art technique n. 2, three parts freewrite: 1 2 3

Haa, thank you very much :) That's a very nice compliment. I think we all get burned by some sun...and that some find their remedy, while others don't.

I have done the weekend freewrite already ;) (I just can't get enough of 'em, it seems). But thank you for delivering the techniques.

You're welcome! your writings are like a gust of fresh air..me and @marcoriccardi yesterday evening were discussing about freewriters smoking a narghilè with friends (we are real life friends) and both were agreeing about your talent.

Wow thank you, now that really is flattering :O

Really your creativity in writing really impressed me. You can contest with you. In thus way you will touch your milestone soon.
