Cheerful is my middle name.
I wear it so happily.
If you spot me down the trail,
I'll race to you with glee.

You'd never think the day was gray
if you shared it with me.
I can turn those thoughts away,
just you wait and see.

But cheer comes with a heavy price,
one not so easy to give.
I try my best though, for my clan,
it's my only place to live.

That price was high when I was young,
my family insisted it is.
To separate before the dawn,
I had no choice in this.

I love my clan,
I truly do
but the thing I realize is this.

My family's gone,
The dawn sun's long
and the blood that was spilled
is missed.

Cheerful is my middle name.
I wear it on my chest.
I puff it out and purr with pride.
I truly am the best.

But it hurts to know they're gone now,
that the hounds chased them over the hills.
I'm thankful for my clan though,
for saving me from the ordeal.

I miss them all so much.
But not everything lasts.
I just want them to be alive again,
Like all those times in the past.

I smile so bright for my clanmates,
who sneer and scoff at me.
I try so hard to be the warrior,
my mentor thinks I should be.
But my cheer is abundant.
My happiness is gone.
The hounds chased it through the forest.
And killed it with the dawn.

Cheerful is my middle name.
But cheerful I don't feel.
I'm the best at carrying on,
I know I can appeal.
To even the grouchiest elder,
and to the fussiest kit.
I wear my cheer upon my face,
I smile through the grit.

Prompt;;

She was falling,
Through my paws.
They were calling,
From the stars.

I tried to catch her,
It was too late.
I was begging for answer,
So was her mate.

She was drowning in darkness,
But no one knew.
At last, she followed our ancestress.
Then weeks past, but not just few.

Her mate followed her to the stars,
I was alone under the sky.
My soul carried so much scars,
I always asked me, why?

what i am
and who i'll be
loves a scam
you can trust me

i put my heart on the line
you gave it away on a dime
i tried to be better for myself
you only cared about yourself

i've made my fair share of mistakes
you were always gone when i wake
all you brought me was heartbreak
these games we play i don't want to partake

i don't want to call you a snake
it gives me a bellyache
but you've left me with a life
i need to retake

Prompt;; Joy
His joy could be infectious
Whisking you away like a river with a leaf
Pulling you along until you had long forgotten your sorrows

His joy was a beacon of light
A lighthouse to all those around him
Even the ones who were lost in the darkness within

His joy filled those with warmth
Butterflies swarming in their bellies with excitement
Although none of them truly knew why they were so happy all of a sudden

His joy filled all those around him
Yet it only truly scratched the surface of himself

Prompt;;

It starts off quiet,
A thought in the back of my mind.
Nothing to be concerned with.
Not yet.

As it goes on,
That one thought gets stronger,
The feeling lasts longer.
Starts to take over.

It creeps up,
Like a monster inside.
Poisoning everything it touches.
Fills it with pain.

An angry green demon,
Residing within me.
In my thoughts and actions,
Into my soul if I let it.

It conflicts me,
Confuses me,
Abuses me.
Jealousy.

Prompt;;
There is a tranquility,
in that which drifts or' the heavy breeze,
flooding mountain, flooding dale-
and waves of scarlet tinted trees, all in the glowing sunrise.

It is, as yet, what lingers after a deep sadness;
the kind that time passes over,
like waves in the sand
it has removed the footprints- not the memory of standing there.

The fog lifts; daylight streams over the eyes of green.
A crisp clear morning, the delicate blossoms caress her like a mother cradling a child-
Marigold sits in the beams of the sun,
in this state of mind
where joy and sadness are intertwined.

This feeling of nostalgia, of melancholy,
of yet being lifted in spirits, yet admitting there is loss;
looking back, as it were, through a dreamy haze, a recollection of faces-
reflected in the clouds, the trees, the bushes and the movement of the flowers-
those she left behind on embarking on a journey.

A mother, a father- a friend she once loved;
the figures of siblings, flighty and graceful,
like the doves that have awoken to meet the sunrise.

A lingering feeling gripping her from departure,
alone and wounded, in body and soul-
is lifted like a veil from the eyes of a mourner-
and let free to the wind;
it is time to let go.

Prompt;;
Emotion is pain

I laugh, I smile,
Swallow down that bile,
Paste on a grin,
Pretend they’re my kin.

I hide behind the mask,
I must be up to the task,
Of hiding away my pain,
But it won’t sustain…

All alone I tear it away,
I feel like I’m starting to decay,
The pain is always never ending,
I no longer feel like contending…

But inside, not really sought after,
Hidden amongst the laughter,
Past all the grey,
My heart is slowly falling… fading away…

Prompt;;
Lonely

I'm not afraid of foxes.
I'm not afraid of dogs.
I'm not afraid of the wolves that howl at night.
No, through that, I could sleep like a log.

What keeps me up at night,
What keeps the the sleep from drooping my eyes,
Is the thought that I'll be alone forever,
even when I'm a star twinkling in the sky.

I'm not afraid of water.
I'm not afraid of fire.
I'm not afraid of the endless mountains,
I could climb the tallest spire.

What has me shaking in my legs,
What has my teeth chattering in fear,
Is the thought that my whole clan may hate me,
that behind their smiles may be leers.

For this reason I push them all away,
I live to be the perfect cat,
But I'm not close to these clanmates,
for one day they'll see I'm merely clinging to them like a gnat.
