The Optimist
Our President has forgotten something vital in his speech to the world. He is speaking out from that grand podium, adorn with golden tinsels, like snakes sneaking from the tip of the wooden post, and towards the ground, and enumerating each tiny word with a sharp and firm command in his tone. The people below him - for of course, he is situated abov

He embodies the perfect replica of a "haunted-chalkboard ghost." Pale, almost translucent skin on a dead-shock, horrified face. Round eyes (as round as dinner plates, maybe?) soaking in the scene before him, as his body begins to shake, shake. Those soft lips of his, more feminine than masculine, is also shivering oddly, a familiar and pathetic tremble that starts upward, and ends downward. If one didn't know any better, one would think that he himself wasn't the ghost - but the victim of one, with the way he was acting.
My vision blurs as I turn to face him again.

Everyone claimed he had a good, pure heart.
Always trying to help, they would say and smile, always trying to be the hero. They were constantly bothered by his cheerful disposition - his "lack of brains" - and foolhardy demeanor, saying things to veer him off his course of stupidity and occasionally - mayhem. And although, whenever they met his open and wide gaze, the wish of words like 'Go away' or 'Leave us alone' echoed in their minds, there was something else - something almost intangible and murky - beneath those train of thoughts,
His heart is a good one.
A heart as fake, as cold

I liked his eyes and,
I wanted them.

Everyone thought his eyes were beautiful.
They claimed that violet - his pale and light lavender violet - was such a rare color for eyes. That the softness of the hue was a deep and unsettling contrast to such a cold interior. They would gaze upon his face - some unwillingly, those willing perhaps regretting the decision afterwards - and immediately, their expression would change. For the brief second that gazes were exchanged, he could imagine the thought flickering in their mind,
How could this monster...have such beautiful eyes?
