The Moon is Always Alone

Introduction

My name is Taylor Peeterson. My mom is dead, so I live with my dad. He's been mourning her death for two years now... And I think he's finally snapped... Because he started to beat me. I don't know if it'll keep happening or not... So for now, my mouth is shut.

I'm in eight grade. We moved to this town during the summer, before my dad got drunk that night. So I don't know anybody here and school is going to start soon. I'm just afraid I won't make any friends... Then I'll be all alone. Well... I'm not really afraid to be alone. I'm afraid to be lonely. Before I moved I already didn't have many friends. People didn't like me because of the way I acted, or dressed, or the things I liked. So maybe if I change myself before school, people will like me more.

The good thing about being alone is you can get lost in your thoughts. So in other words your not lonely if your thought are there to keep you company too. So long as you're not afraid of those too. Being alone in my room, or outside with my music is possible the most perfect thing, so long as I can talk to somebody through text or something. Or if nobody can see me dance.

I'll try out for choir, so maybe I can meet some friends there. I hear there's a boys choir, girls choir, and mixed choir. Obviously I can only get into girls or mixed, but I don't really care which one I get into. I just want to see if there's anybody I can be friends with.
