One moment, there was laughing. The next, there was shouting. One moment, we were together. The next, I was alone. One moment, I was joyful. The next, I was crying. That's just life. At one moment, everything will be going great, then, in a second, everything and everyone you ever loved is gone. You just have to push through. Act like nothing is wrong. Tell everyone you're okay...when you're dying inside. I tried. I tried to push through. I tried to act like the pain wasn't there. I tried to be okay...but I couldn't be. I couldn't fake it. I couldn't push through. The pain was overwhelming. I found myself crying in a pile of scrap and blood...every...single...day. Why is the world like this. A 15-year-old girl, trying to run away from the world. Run away from the blood. Run away from the bodies on the ground. Run away from the thought of her family. Run away. Run away. Run away. One moment, there was laughing. The next, there was shouting. One moment, I was joyful. The next, I was crying. But that's...just...life.
