Ce texte est en anglais, c'était un sujet pour mon cours de civilisation anglaise. Je suis désolé pour les personnes qui ont du mal à lire l'anglais mais sachant que chaque semaine j'aurais un nouveau sujet je publierai souvent en anglais, j'espère que ceux qui pourront les lire apprécieront.

Everything started in darkness. I was in a ball or something but I couldn't escaped. I couldn't do anything to brake the walls. The only thing that I could do is waiting something to happen. I remember yelling, for what! Anger? Frustration? Desperation? I don't even know. Mabe for everything at the same time. The worst was the felling after so many hours of yelling. The feeling of loneliness. I gave up on trying to escape. My only friend was my mind.

Then, everything started to move. I used to hit the walls of my dark cage again and again. This didn't stop during hours. Every day it was the same, I was bounced around. But, something changed. Before, there was just silence. And now, I could hear things sounds! This means that there was a world outside, beyond theses walls. (A/N- Allegiant. Beyond the walls.... I feel obligate ^.^) Since this day, I passed my time wondering how was the world outside. Mabe everything is colorfull, everybody is happy and free, they're all balls and they all fly. It was my dream.....just escaping of that cage. The days passed so fast, I even could forget my loneliness and all my painfull body after hitting theses walls for do many times. I had hope, hope can save you.

But, one day I stopped hearing theses sounds and I was standing still. No mouvement for so many day. I was feeling one more time this unbearable feeling of loneliness that I felt before. Every day, this fire of hope that burned inside of me was dying slowly, leaving just an empty space filled with sadness. An agonising was growing inside of me. This pain was worse than the one that I felt when I was hitting the walls. I started crying all the time. The water was growing more and more. Soon after I just had enough space of air for my head and my shoulders. And then, the most miraculous thing happened! I moved again! I could hear sounds again! Not the same that before but that didn't matter. I wasn't alone anymore! I remember this feeling. My hope, that was just a tiny piece of red coal surrounded by tones of grey ashes was burning again. The fire was going through every part of my body. Soon after hours of being thrown in so much way and hours of being squeezed a light came. This was a bright light, I cried of joy watching my dream becoming true. I was finally free.
