10. Silent Beats

Moonlight pierced through the stained glass windows, illuminating the dancing figure in the room. She twirled, and twirled, and twirled. Silence was her music, and darkness her audience. "Silence has their beats," she whispered to her shadow. "And so I've learnt to listen, and obey like you taught." She stretched out one of her arm and leapt, ending with a graceful split. She heard the crowd cheered, and a smile crawled its way to her lips.

9. Never Enough

"I wish I knew the answer. I wish I knew the answer too, you know?" Her voice cracked and her demeanor dropped. "I tried. I really did. I tried to be enough. But perhaps I never was, and I never will. Sure, I see changes in myself but it was a gradual process. I'm never enough for those that I care for greatly. I'm a constant let down. I tried to break myself apart so that I could rebuild in time. But it seems that I'm always too late, or simply not perfect enough. I wish I knew the answer to pleasing all that I hold dear." She let out a shaky breath.

"But whenever I whisper, it was only the eerie silence responding to me with the blowing wind resembling something like an echo from a hole. Perhaps that was the hole in my heart." She threw her head back, laughing at this point.

"Never enough. That's all I am - never enough."
