Into The Shadows

"Im Different"

Hi my name is Tim.  I was raised on on a farm, until my parents were murdered.  Then someone else took me in, since then i've been living in this big house.  oh yeah, and one other thing i work 16 hours every day, cause I'm a slave.  I've lived in South Carolina my whole life.  It's a fabulous life my owners always had told me too never give up on my dreams.  They're some really nice people, but i do know i'm never going to stop working until the day i die.  They say whatever i do is going to make a change in the world, yeah a change on they're cotton farm.  They always treated us nice gave us nice things to eat, but always stuck us in the nearest room when company came over.  When i was younger i had always thought it ws because i had to many friends already, but really it was because they didn't want anyone to see my face.  I've been "dating" a girl name Carolina for a while, but she don't let anyone know because she's white.  Her mother is my owner.  We've been in love for at least 5 years.  She's to afraid to tell her parents though: I mean if i could afford it I would get her the biggest diamond ring, get down on one knee, make a big speech on how i love her, and then pop the question.  One day I know her parents will be ok with it, but just not right now.  We are only 17.
