The Awakening

Dancing in the enchanting universe that was so diverse, mighty, and puzzling I buried myself as deep as I could.  It was pitch dark but not unnerving because the soft cushion attached to me was kissing and cuddling me time and again.  Soon I bounced, kicked, and jumped within the cushion, I grew huge and loved the entangled rope that gave me all I wanted.  Mom smiled with tears of joy as my heartbeat echoed, I knew what love was and then the big day finally arrived.  I fought my way out of her and lay in her bosom clinging to find love, but I heard people discuss my gender, color, and low birth weight. Complications enveloped me just when I thought love was enough to survive I discovered love comes with a tag, terms and conditions apply.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
