Description Rave

The pulsing beat of the music hums, caressing each body, lulling each thought. The colored lights flash, making the sweat shine and the glitter sparkle. The throng sways from side to side, each body perfectly in tune with the whole. A sweet escape, filled with techno and glow sticks.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, she found her peace. Crushed in the mass of life and light, she found her reason.  Surrounded by fake grins and giggles, she found her release. She’s found everything she wanted, and lost what she never had.

No one knows her name. No one knows her life. No one knows why scars line each milky white arm. No one knows why her neck is covered with finger tip shaped bruises. No one knows why she’s crying. They don’t ask either. And she likes it that way.

For now, she doesn’t remember. She doesn’t remember the pain, the blood. She doesn’t remember his face, his name. She doesn’t remember their sneers, their hatred. She doesn’t remember dying inside, over and over. She doesn’t remember herself.

The pulsing beat of the music hums. The colored lights flash. The throng sways from side to side. A sweet escape.

Covered in sweat, glitter, and tears.

She’s lost herself again.

The ONLY things that's wrong from my personal experience is that not everyone is dancing :/
it's actually pretty lame. haha. So not everyone goes to the beat.
But I love this so it doesn't matter. haha

I like this. It truely explains rave. The story was powerful, giving me a new perspective on it, but also bringing back memories of what's been done at raves. Memories that caused pain, but some that caused happiness

I like this, keep up the good work

I couldn't have put it better. I know I feel the same way, I go to raves to forget about the world and the stress consuming my daily life and just let go.

I am a raver and Yes, raves are about freedom, about music, about dancing, and about the now. I love your piece, the only thing that sorta got me was the "fake grins and giggles" Generally if their fake... you aren't at the right rave. That feeling of freedom, of letting your worrys go and just dancing, the grins are real. Raves are a place where you can be you and everyone will love you for it, everyone is one, one massive body linked to the music. again though, I love your work, makes me smile and proud to be apart of my culture and makes me sad, because this is a story for alot of people that go to raves. Thumbs up!

What happened to this "girl"?

your dead on what raves are at their potential, one just has to allow that freeing stimulation to enter, now only if life could be like that on the outside.

This captured my heart! Rave is amazing but this truely explains it. Even the most emotional of people can be swayed by music, or other forms of dance, music, or art.
Faved!

Stevthezombiehunter [2009-04-27 23:51:54 +0000 UTC]

Wow. This really does capture what to me music is in general. Being a glowstringer/glowsticker, dancing is the easiest way for me to completely lose myself and just do whatever I feel at the moment. And as some others said, those who live in the music take others in without really questioning them, so long as they share that common bond. Kudos.

You should have incorporated something about drugs in there, as this seems like a very serious and interesting piece of prose.

You could have added E and made it even more detailed ya know.

And it's pretty common for ravers to try out E, as the sensations it gives are simply perfect for raving.

And no I don't do drugs. lol
