About
I decided to take a unique approach that doesn't take as much time as writing a full-on story. I have a limited about of time that I need to spend during the day, and I much rather spend it wisely. Since, stories typically take me about 3 hours per chapter, I decided to write my OC's story by using poetry. Poetry is something that I love to read, because everyone has their own way of interpreting it. Poetry may be short, or long, simple, or full of elaboration. Besides, if my OC were to choose a form of writing to make a career, she would probably choose poetry.
This story is specifically my OC, Kui's, struggle with her disease, Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). I've done a ton of research on the subject ever since I watched the chick-flick named, Midnight Sun. Xeroderma pigmentosum is a disease that has to do with the skin and sunlight. The skin has a severe sensitivity to sunlight, which causes very severe skin cancer. Some symptoms include: blood-shot eyes, blisters, severe sunburns, limited hair growths, and scaly skin. XP is extremely rare, I've found that there is a possibility that this could happen in cats. There are people who have asked for help for their cats, who seem to be in pain in sunlight, and died short. Of course, cats having this disease is just a hypothesis of mine, so I thought I'd bring it into the world of Kui's.
This poetry story doesn't only portray this. It shows her love-life (friends, family, crush, etc), her emotions, and her journey. During this poetry journey, she will encounter a lot of lovable, dangerous, and quiet moments. This poem will use a lot of analogies that relate to real life. Despite her different disease, I want to make this relatable. I want to give this story a lot of challenges not only relating to XP, but every day challenges that teenagers and youth may face; big or small.
During this story, I will post at least once a week (Fridays or Saturdays). To make things interesting, I will not talk about the meanings of the poems. You all, will just have to interpret them. I feel like it will spark some ideas of what it meant. Some of the poems I will try to make clear, and others, will be completely up to the crowd that reads it to decide what it means.
I have never done a story such as this in my entire life, and I have a feeling that it may not be a journey just for Kui. I have a feeling that I might grow a bit attached to this story. I might feel like I could relate myself. Kui is a lot like mean, just a bit more introverted. I feel like this story might speak my mind, despite the differences with the disease. I want this story to speak the heart, rather than talk about this random story.
Thank you for supporting me by reading this! It really means a lot to me. Mainly, because I'm that loser than isn't "meant" to be seen. It would really be a great help if you just send me a message, because I love you all. I can talk to you if you really need it, or just have a friendly conversation. Again, thank you so much!
Prologue
When I was small
I saw nothing but
Bright sunbeams and rays
That lit up every surrounding
Soul
When I was small
I felt vivid heat
Like comfort was knocking
On my entrance; wondering
If I was okay.
When I was small
I heard the sweet
Wildflowers that Whispered
In my ear, About
The latest Gossip
When I was small
I tasted the
Milk of my mother,
Which gave
The best relief
But now that I am
Big, I cannot
See the
Bright sunbeams and rays
That lit up every surrounding
Soul
But now that I am
Big, I cannot
Feel the
Vivid heat
Like comfort was knocking
On my entrance; wondering
If I was okay.
But now that I am
Big, I cannot
Hear the
The sweet
Wildflowers that Whispered
In my ear, About
The latest Gossip
But now that I am
Big, I cannot
Taste the
Milk of my mother,
Which gave
The best relief
