This day will forever be in my memory
It wasn’t very long before I began my life in recovery
The night before I came to this place
Before you,
I was dragged along like a chain,
cutting along every vein,
not knowing what it would do to my brain.
Before you,
I felt like I was the weight of a crane,
with such fain,
I am from the suburbs and
I am unaware of what the city has to offer and how it will shape me
I love to make sure people can trust me in a relationship
I love having other people rely on me
A year ago I lost my spark. I felt as if I was a dying flame where nothing could save me. I lost all hop in myself. I thought that if I didn’t get the perfect grades, played the best sport, looked a certain way, I had no purpose.
Women are strong
Women are fierce
Yet in today's society
Women are whores
When men are considered to be kings
This is the madness that needs to be seen
People are people and every one sins
Innocent and pure
A girl who wanted so much more
The chance to travel and learn
If only I knew how not to get burned
A new school with freedom and hope
A chance to be reborn
I have to write this down.
I cannot keep this all inside.
I just do not understand why you felt the need to lie.
Never mind, I just heard that you had somehing to hide?
I have decided to take the leap and go off to college.
Leaving behind my family, town, and friends of my current knowledge.
While off I will be free to explore,
To discover the world once hidden beind closed doors.
It happened in August.
294, it read.
I blink,
my eyes needing to focus.
The numbers don’t budge.
My heart drops
easily into my stomach.
I feel sick.
The scale says something
In the heart of the city of Manhattan,
There once was a girl by the name of Ashton.
She was as rich as could be,
As her parents were the CEO’s of a large company.
Her funds were spent like they never would end,
i think the hardest part is quit being mad at myself.
I hate what I am.
I want to change but i feel like i dont know where to start
and i feel as if i will just regress
and go back to how i am.
