a glimpse of me.

HI! please dont mind my punctuation and spelling..i feel i write better when that is not on my mind! a glimpse of me..hmm..Well im a jewish orthodox girl of 23 who thinks outside the box. i attended strict orthodox schools that trained me to think in a ”sqaure” manner. i always felt that in school i wasnt aloud to be myself thus out of that environment i would obsess over ”harry potter” ,”star wars”, and ”lord of the rings”. i would rather live in a world with goblins and vampires than to be in reality where all those things are masked by ”ordinary” people. i write when i get fustrated about anything and everything. i enjoy writing about..you guessed it.. fantasy…

I was given a task to destroy them

The demon-like beings

That lurk in the shadows

Of the resting place of many

I asked bluntly to my authority

”Why am I chosen for this mission?”

He then looked through me with his piercing eyes

Behind his square shaped spectacles

He answered with a quiet chant

”The one who has risen

will be the one to slay

those that will rise”

I indeed have risen

Not from a casket

But from the fiery pit of Hell

The point lower than the core of Earth

I, the slayer, will meet my match

In a battle of good and evil

You see, I decided to live

While the parasite has chosen to kill the innocent

This was inspired by a dream I had about ”buffy the vampire slayer”. I found depth to it.

as he rested there slain his outer appearance grotesque

and his rank in the war lost

there I stood relieved

he was the great general Elie and I his envious brother

i never understood why he was chosen

i was just as strong and mighty if not more

father told me to be content with my title

and label as a great soldier

and when the enemy sprung out

i trembled

Elie did anything but

as he shielded me from the attacker

it was then that I was swamped

with relief and grief

a rare cocktail of emotion

i could not ever repay Elie

this occurrence did not stop me

from my craving of the jeweled sword

Elie’s pride and joy

that characterized him as a general

presently it is I who is general by default

my title has changed

though I haven’t earned this position I am never the less deserving of it

for reasons of the unknown

I am chabad and there is a holy book called ”The Igros” that is an important item of our sect of Judiasm. It consists of letters written by the previous Lubavitch Rebbe- (the leader of our sect  who passed away)Rabbi Shneerson. To get to the point I asked for an answer from one of the vast amount of letters and got an answer that has to do with sibling rivalry..this poem was inspired by it! enjoy!
