Run Away With Me

PROLOGUE:

Dedicated to the lives that were lost in an attempt to be true to themselves, and the lives that are there supporting those who want to be saved.

Dedicated to Emily Holmes.

PROLOGUE:

Look around you.

Seriously, look up. Look around.

How many people are smiling? How many people are giggling, laughing, with their friends? How many people are alone? How many people have their heads ducked, frowning, thinking to themselves?

Now, which part are you in their spectrum? Are you where the popular girls giggle and gossip, or are up at the bottom where the antisocials plug in their headphones and listen to music endlessly, lost in their own world?

Me? I was none.

I was in the center, favored by most, loved by teachers, often known as the teacher's pet. This was in the outside though, this is what people saw me as. But in the inside, I was crying, wanting to run away, gritting my teeth and holding back everything, every emotion and grudge I held against my father, and everything that I held against myself.

Now?

I don't know anymore. I don't know who I am. I don't know who I'm becoming, or who I will become. I don't know the past, the present, the future.

The past is part of you, but it does not become your future, it does not make you who you think you are going to become. You can change. You don't have to be forced to be anyone, anything. You can find a way out.

Where do you belong?
