The Girl Who Loved Red (Warning: May be a bit disturbing)

Cindy loved red

She owned a red coat, a pair of red shoes, and a red bed

Her yellow rubber duck

Even her brother's hockey puck

Cindy painted them red

She was that much obsessed

One day Cindy was playing in a garden

When she noticed a flash of red, partially hidden

Curious, she ran towards the scarlet

Found a bramble of roses smelling sweeter than chocolate

Cindy held a flower between her little fingers to see

And admired the beauty closely

She unwittingly prickled her thumb

As the thumb started to go numb

Cindy saw an even more mesmerizing red

That oozed out slowly as she bled

Desiring more, she plunged her arm into the thorns

She watched her skin being torn

Yet felt joy at the sight of all the beautiful red

Nothing else went through Cindy's head

Cindy's mother came out of the door

Shocked to see all the gore

As she treated Cindy back home, the mother said

"What were you doing, Cindy? Your arm is almost shred!"

Cindy exclaimed, "Mommy, red came out of my arm!"

"That happens to everyone, Cindy, and it causes much harm."

"Really? Red can come out of anyone?"

That night a scream was heard and the cops showed up, armed with a gun

They busted the door open and proceeded to the bedroom ahead

To their surprise, there was a little girl smiling and drenched with red

Self-Analysis: Physical or Sedentary?

What I hate most about going to school is having to leave the pleasant vicinity of my home and walk for 15 minutes. The same goes for hanging out with my friends. When I make plans to go out and watch a movie, I feel excited, but at the same time I feel terrified that I must first overcome the arduous journey to the theatre. If I had to choose between the life of a millionaire athlete and a mediocre artist, I would choose the millionaire athlete. However, if the choice was between a mediocre athlete and a mediocre artist, I would choose the latter. All this goes to show that I am a sedentary person.

I may be a sedentary person, but I also care about my physical well-being, so I do try to keep a balanced diet and try my absolute best to do brief stretching exercises every morning and evening. Also, being sedentary doesn't mean that I am overweight and have social anxiety. I am well above average in physical fitness, and I like to meet and socialize with new people. The most difficult part about taking part in an activity is getting started. I find it difficult to get my heart to start pumping. However, there are times when I think, I'm so glad I chose not to sit in front of the computer and rot away on my chair. Occasionally, I actually feel like getting active and call my friends to exercise together.

I am without a doubt a sedentary person. Nonetheless, I have a desire to become active and strive to become an active individual. In conclusion, I may be sedentary, but I am physical at heart.
