And to this day, I still feel like that little girl all alone in that same gray room.
All I do is live a programmed life determined by others I don't know. There is nothing I can do about it, I'm pretty sure I've tried everything. I wish I had been born weaker or dumber or even had some horrible disease. But no. I just had to be in the top 1%, and I'm the only girl.
My life could have been normal. I could have gone shopping with my friends or went to the prom or even attended a normal school. I'm that desperate. But no. I cant see my parents or my siblings and I'm all alone. I have to be up here.
Everyone always says "you are making a sacrifice for the entire planet" or "you are our species savior." What if I want to save myself? What about me and what I'm suffering? Hell, what if I want to walk down the hall without being taunted and being reminded that I'm different?
I want . . . someone.
Anyone who would listen to me and help me. But no. I'm alone and have been for years. No one was there on my 13th birthday. No one asks me how my day has been. No one was there when I was sick.
Even the people who forced me up here and ripped my life away won't talk to me. They just expect me to learn and train and fight and do whatever they think will save the planet. I don't even goddamn live on Earth anymore. I'm up here surrounded by people yet still alone.
