Part V

Yes, it's true. I feel at home with you. I have found my place to belong, and I love it. y'all are there for me no matter what. She doesn't know what she is doing, I know she'll come around. Every time I see this hurt I think about this life, this friendship, the bond, that makes us a sort of family. I thank you for the support, even though we didn't meet all that long ago. This life that I have lived hasn't killed me, it's only made me stronger. Y'all know the story, it's public domain. They remind me every once in a while with the ridicule and mocking, but I remember you're here for me. You want me to succed in my life. I promise, I will do my best. On one condition, you must promise me you will do the same in your life. Life goes on no matter what happens. I sit in aw and wonder at how much I have grown in the past year, and you have been a part of that. I thank you for that. <3<3<3

If This Is Our Future...I'm RUNNING in the Opposite Direction!

This is it? This is all the world has to offer us? Broken baby heads and pinata humans? I'm gonna run...I want more!!!!! I don't want the blues and the financial burden of our government placed on me. I want freedom. Our days our numbered this is true. The time is getting close! We smell it in the air. But...are we prepared? Is this all they will give us to go out in the real world?I pray to God that this is not so. We could be doing better. We could actualy, GASP, pay attention and try to grab everything we can while we are still here, still together. I don't get all crazy like him. We never were the best of friends. I can learn from you, and you can for sure learn from me. Our parents do know what is best, even if we don't think it is ture. They have had expierences we can't even dream of! WE ARE THE FUTURE OF THE NATION! We should take this with pride and run with it. Just, only, in the right way. Because, if this is our future i'm running in the other direction!

Part IV

Your hatred toward me grows stronger everyday or so it seems. You back away, like I have a disease, towards a person you hate more than me. Guess what, we only have to bear with each other for 227 days more of school! Then we can be out of each other’s lives forever! How about that? Sound good? With my luck and your skills we won’t ever have to talk to each other again. Your dreams and desires. We will graduate and go off to separate schools, you’ll get your guy, your job, the money, your life, and I…I will become dirt, like you already say I am. Well guess what, I have found my place to belong and fit in! You can’t take that away from me. Ever! I laugh in the face of your plan to knock me down again every single day. With this support I am able to stand up to you and your mocking with dignity and throw it off to the side. I am free! I will always be able to hold on and be strong!
