Trying her best to avoid attention, she walked from shadow to shadow, nothing more than a ghost. With her head hanging low and her hoodie pulled over her head, she walked along the corridor, getting further and further away from the noisy crowd. Though, even with the loud noise, she felt so alone. The talking, laughing, and occasional yelling seemed more distant with every step she took. "Just a few more steps," she thought to herself. She was just about to enter her own pit of welcoming darkness when she heard footsteps behind her.
No creepy things okay, just a depression girl overcoming her depression. This is a super short story that you can probably finish in 15 minutes:))) This was originally a piece my teacher made me write for a competition, and now that I am pretty happy with the result (it was chosen yayyy), I have decided that it would be a waste to not upload it here. Hopefully this could help you kill some time ! :)))
Special thanks to Jamie, for staying up late to help me correct my serious grammar mistakes. This wouldn't have been completed without you, thanks for everything!
P.S. Feel free to give suggestions if you have anyyyy

In a world that screams, I stand in despair,
My voice drowned out, lost in the air.
Chains of tradition tighten each day,
I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay.
Each breath I take feels heavy and torn,
Every mistake a scar I've worn.
I crave a sky where I can be free,
Away from the walls that imprison me.
For now, I sit with my heart in pain,
Silent, yet screaming, again and again.
Though shattered, a spark in me still survives,
Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
