Middle School Creative Assignment

In either seventh or eighth grade (I don't remember which grade for sure) I had to do a creative writing assignment. It was probably the easiest thing I've ever done. What we had to do was choose words, any that we could think of (or invent), and turn them into a metaphor type-ish thing. Like I said: easy. Well I found pieces of the final assignment, and I think they are pretty interesting, considering I wrote them five years ago.

Rain
The cloud's tears

Butterfly
Nature's angel

Care
Universal band-aid

Diet
Substitute for starvation

Wind
Unspoken Secrets

Red
A bloody massacre

Life
A game no one wins

Darkness and Light
The last thing you see before you die
And the first thing you see after

Shoulder
The only tissue that actually dries tears

Fakeness
The mask everyone wears

Mirrors
What makes people hate themselves

Judgement
The cause of all our insecurities

Smile
Merely a mask to a frown

I think it is safe to say that I was a demented (perhaps tormented) little child. Oh my poor pre-teen brain!
