Going to Melbourne.
Yesterday, (Thursday) we went in to the city to see the biggest library in Melbourne (or even the biggest library in Australia!) anyway, I don’t know what the library is called (I know it’s weird because I’ve been there twice now!) but enough of the library (for now) I’ll go from the start. First, we caught the train to Melbourne, then we spent fifteen or ten minutes in this food court place to kill some time till the library opens for the day, then we headed off to the state library. (yay I remembered the library’s name!) surprisingly the library was closed, but only for a few minutes so we didn’t have to wait that long. When the library opened, a woman, Bethany (I think that’s what her name was) greeted us and announced she was going to be our tour guide. She then led us inside and showed us to the bag area where we had to put our bags because bags were not allowed inside any of the reading areas. She then showed us to one of the main rooms. She then led us through one of the doors and took us upstairs where we reached basically the art room. She then led us into another art room where paintings from picture story book ‘the water hole’ framed on the walls. She then led us into a big reading room with the awesome ceiling.

Lies forgotten.
Lies, fading away
Into the past.

Guilt, creeping up
On someone,
Taking control of them.

Pain, attacking them
Out of nowhere.

And misery, pushing them down,
Teardrops falling
Out of their eyes.

The heart.

The heart lay below the surface of the sea,

lying there for eternity.

But one day it finally glided away,

disappearing like mist,
