Love yourself

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
~Lady Gaga "Born This Way"

Mummy

I was dying. The life was being sucked out of me day by day.  I was suffering and just wanted it to end. My life was stretching out too far for me to bear.

I was standing by the edge of the water.  The Nile stretched farther than any eyes could see.  Golden sand flecked in my hair sparkled against my dark hair.  I stared at my reflection seeing my dying completion.  My skin was a washed out color and my hair even was fading.

 The cold hands of death grasped me.  For I felt weak and my eyes could only see darkness.  I felt my body falling into the water.  I was choking but I was frozen and could not move my body.   For my final wish was given to me.

I did not have my peace for long.  Soon, I could feel someone pulling me out of the water and screaming.  They tried to revive me, but it was too late.  The sound of weeping filled my ears and they lifted me up and carried me for a short amount of time.

I was laid down on a cold slab of stone in a dark musty room.  Confused, I felt cold hands preparing me for burial.  They tugged at my skin and wrapped my body in cloth.  The room was soon lingering with the soft smells of exotic spices and of dust.  Several hands lifted me up and lowered me into some kind of container.  A lid was placed on top and I felt myself moving again.  I knew this was my final journey to my eternal resting place.
