•Brooklyn•

I slowly opened me eyes to see the sweet light peeking through the blinds instantly setting a smile on my face.

I push myself off the bed and walk over to my closet grabbing ripped denim shorts and a white laced crop top.Once slipping on the clothes I head into my bathroom turning the sink on,slashing cold water on my face and brushing my teeth and hair.I sift through my makeup bag to apply it on.I look in my reflection and smile walking out of my room ready for a new summer day.

I walk down the stairs,the aroma of breakfast filling my senses.Stepping into the kitchen I am greeted my both my parents,

"Good morning Brooky."My mom says with a fake smile.

"Mornin."My dad speaks up.

I notice right away that there is something wrong.

I frown while looking at them who are just looking at their computer screens."Are you guys okay?You guys seem a little off."I tell them,worry laced through my voice.

"Everything is fine."They say followed by a sigh.I nod walking out allowing the day to drag out.

A week has passed by and my parents are getting more and more distant from me.I feel so lonely without them.

To clear my mind I decide to go on a walk outside and onto an all too familiar road.

The breeze brushed against my face and dances with the trees.I walk along the rode staring at the horizon kicking pebble with my feet.

I start singing to fill the silent air.

'There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
Then there's me inside a sinking boat, running out of time
Without you I'll never make it out alive
But I know, yes I know we'll be alright
There's a devil in your smile that's chasing me
And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed
There's a moment when you finally realize
There's no way you can change the rolling tide
But I know, yes I know that I'll be fine
This time I'm ready to run
Escape from the city and follow the sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
'Cause you wanna be mine
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free
And I wanna be young
I'll never look back now I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
There's a future in my life I can't foresee
Unless of course I stay on course
And keep you next to me
There will always be the kind that criticize
But I know, yes I know we'll be alright
This time I'm ready to run
Escape from the city and follow the sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
'Cause you wanna be mine
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free
And I wanna be young
I'll never look back now I'm ready to run
This time I'm ready to run
I'll give everything that I got for your love
This time I'm ready to run
Escape from the city and follow the sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
'Cause you wanna be mine
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free
And I wanna be young
I'll never look back now I'm ready to run'

I soon near the calm lake,walking down to sit on a large boulder.

Hours have past as the sun paints colors in the sky as it sets.I stand up to brush off my clothes and start walking back down the road to my house.

I soon step on the porch twisting the nob opening the door with a click.Once I step in I am greeted by think tension and yelling.

"I don't know what to do with her!"I assume my father yells.

"I know,we put her up or adoption but you don't listen!"My mom yells back,as tears rush down my face.They don't want me anymore.

I stand at the door and listen to the rest.

"I don't want to give her up for adoption,I know that we can take care of her because we have our own problems but I know it needs to be done."My dad cries out.

"I see you don't want me thats fine,I'll go,I just thought you guys loved me!"I yell to them and rush up the stairs ignoring their cries.

I bust through my bedroom door slamming it shut and locking it.I swiftly go under my bed and reach fir my journal.It is where I let my thoughts free.I sit at my desk turning on my lamp and pulling out a pen.

'Dear journal, 8.28.15
I have noticed over the past few weeks that my parents have gotten more distant from me and constantly arguing.Today I finally found out...they don't love me anymore,they want to give me up for adoption.I don't k ow what I am going to do.I just hope-'

*knock* *knock* I get interrupted by load pounding on the door,I set my pen down and grab my headphones.Plugging them into the jack and turning in music to allowing it to drain out the sound on the pounding.

I've got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby you're a boat
Baby you're my only reason
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left
The shell of a man who could never be his best
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
I got a fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby you're a boat
Baby you're my only reason
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (nothing left)
The shell of a man who could never be his best (be his best)
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (see the sun)
You taught me how to be someone
Yeah
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They cant blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
The song fills my ears as I finish my writing.
'That someone will help me through times like this and take me under their wing,to help my down this lonely road,

Brooklyn'

Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They cant blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down

The song ends as I finish up my journal entry.I silently close my book and put it back to its hiding spot.

My eyes start to feel heavy so I walk to my closet and change into my pajamas.One that was done I walk into my bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth,sighing I switch off all of the lights and crawl into the warm sheets of my bed.

I lie there asI lets the silent unwanted tears roll down my flushed cheeks,my eyes flutter closed and midnight thoughts swirl around my head sending me deeper into sleep.
