Aurora - When She Comes To The Pages Where Her Diary Ends.



A definition of diary is complex and excessive
I compare it to the definition of love and life
(Someday it will end) .
Aurora's diary was thick and beautiful but full of sad and miserable thoughts,
It was what she had wished and thought of doing
It was what had already happened in her life.

Aurora's life was like poetry and music living together.
It had the sweet elements of African naturalists
It gave you a full meaning of how these African voices talk so profound
It gave you the intellectual African romance, due to, why can't I be proud of my body when it's so dark and beautiful.
Why I can't I sing a love song to someone I love when I have the great Africa voice that is so soft and seduces that American brain.
No, this is not a poem about Africa; it's about a girl called aurora who was truly an African but her diary was about to end.

When she came to the pages where her diary was about to end, guess what? She decided not to write on those last few pages. She started a new diary which was her heart. Something no one will ever read but see by the ways of actions.
It all came back to love and instead of pain because that was all her heart was capable of doing. Despite the fact that she had been hurt before; her new diary made realise that it was more to life that just pieces of paper.

From that day; she stopped comparing her life to books and papers, she compared her heart to true Africans and less Americans.
Aurora.
