Stereotypebreaker Stories

"Oh, but you made a small mistake. You underestimated me" Feisty, clever and drop dead gorgeous, Ashley Wilson, has just the perfect life. Sub head of the cheerleading team, top of the social clique, breaking stereotypes with her top level grades, she has it all figured out. Or well, she thought so. Fast forward 6 months, she doesn't anymore. Her seemingly perfect world collapsed, her loved ones not by her side, she has to fend for herself. Only one question remains, Fight or Flight?

I was told that the eyes behold every truth But when I looked into his I couldn't see past the curtain of happiness he masked his lies with I believed his eyes held the galaxy The way it shines under the dark sky I watched the stars twinkle in them They were so complete, yet devoid of the love I wished to see I did not complain, for my heart weaved itself into his name Now it cannot see the obvious lies. I tell myself to not fall any further, But he was the ocean's treasure Brimmed with a cold embrace Enveloping my soul into its chambers I couldn't escape my fate sealed with his Never knew I could be capable of loving someone until he came along I gave myself, Wholly Completely Gave my everything Only to return cold and empty handed I told myself just because i love someone Doesn't mean I deserve to be loved too So I watch him feed me a false hope I smile bitterly, reading his lips Wanting to hear them speak my name too But I expect too much Now I wander around the world he created for me The world I drew the map to But I'm lost Where does my heart belong If not in his embrace? Because I've known no other place but his eyes to take my solace in The very heart that beats for him alone Now ask me reasons for her scars I give her no answer For I myself do not know it's home Where does my heart belong If not within his own?
