The Escape

The Homeless Man

I've been living on the streets for sometime now; yet living out here has taught me more to life then anywhere else. People who say they will be there for you wont always be there.But most importantly never take anything for granite, you never know it might not be there tomorrow. living out here is hard;but somehow I just adapted and survived. Except, this isn't always how it's been. I once lived in a home with two loving parents and amazing friends; man life was just so worth living back then.This all changed freshmen year, you know a whole new world high school. I miss when my biggest concern was how will I fit in. Anyway, when freshmen year came it was a big reality check for me. This high school thing was harder then I thought; not the middle school was any better. Well I went on with my school life, I got use to walking the halls alone and not seeing any of my friends and the fact that I was a loner at lunch. I thought this loner thing would be easy but I finally couldn't take it anymore so i called some of my friends. Worst mistake of my life. They all moved on. Steve became a tech nerd; I always knew he was smart he finally realized it , what could I say I was happy for the guy. Justin joined more clubs then I could count, once again happy for him he was going through a hard time glad he is back to being involved. Before I knew it there went Dustin and Jack doing who knows what. I think being there dumb rebel selfs probably like drugs or something. There goes four. I was officially stuck being a loser loner. It wouldn't be that bad if there weren't other groups and people looking awkwardly oh yeah and the talking behind my back. This was kind of like middle school but I had a group of friends. I knew we all were so different I just didn't want this to happen. I was too late should have tried harder to keep them I guess. Meanwhile at home, I was the only child with loving parents. They loved and provided for me but I could never fully be myself. As I was growing up, I learned but never understood how and why people were full of so much hate and why my parents had to be that way.So all my life I've just tried so hard to be this perfect figure for them. Freshmen year is when I started to relize somethings and I could easily hide it but senior year is when I couldnt any more, I brought home my first boy friend that year. My parents wondered why IVe never dated and that was a huge mistake because I than got kicked out.
