(Not a part of the series but just fun to write and interesting to explore the idea. )

I think I could scream,
And cry
And yell
And tear all the fibre from my head
And pluck my eyelashes one by one ,
Like pulling feathers off an angel fallen from Grace
Instead I'm quiet
I suppress the flame inside
Sometimes it burns and stings
But I must suppress it
I must
I can not be the next angel to fall from Grace
I can't do that to people around me
I won't do it

So I must "get my shit together"and "try harder"
I don't understand what I'm meant to be trying at
Aslong as I'm trying in school surely I don't need to focus on staying alive?
Surely I don't need to focus on not crawling,
into the deepest,
darkest places in my mind?
I don't need to focus on breathing in and out
I don't need to focus on me
Just as long as i get that grade,that award,that trophy,that medal

Who cares if the girl I was has died?
Who cares if she wasn't given the funeral she deserved?
Who cares if she's just another fallen angel?

I must suppress the urge to scream
I must not crack under pressure
I must keep on breathing in and out
I must keep on living
I must keep on achieving
