I’m running.
    Faster than I’ve ever run before.
    I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m running.
    All I hear is my pounding heart, the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet, and my breath coming in short gasps.
    I trip over a branch causing me to fly face-first into the ground.
    I scream out in pain...no.
    I cry out in pain...no.
  ...

  When I step onto the bus I immediately regret my decision of not going back for that poptart. The air is musty, humid, and smells like complete ass. Everyone’s talking. Or, their version of talking, which is more like screaming. Some kids are sitting there looking like they’d rather bang their head against a wall. Same. 
   I make my way to the back of the bus and feel my face tug into a smile when I see Alaia sitting in...

    I’m running.
    Faster than I’ve ever run before.
    I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m running.
    All I hear is my pounding heart, the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet, and my breath coming in short gasps.
    I trip over a branch causing me to fly face-first into the ground.
    I scream out in pain...no.
    I cry out in pain...no.
  ...

Just about a year ago I learned that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. I always assumed that everyone can be saved. That as long as you're there for them, they will be ok. But, that's not the case. 
    Humans are really strange. They self destruct and when you try to pick up their pieces they push you away. They say they're fine when they're obviously not fine. Then they go on social media...

too much to handle

It was that night when I fell in your arms
You just held me and stared at the stars
That's when I realized that I've been blind
There is no reason to hide
My love for you is undenied
I'll never be ashamed of loving someone like you
You're like the sun, I'm like the moon
When I shine it's because of you
Although, your light's a warm yellow, mine's a cool blue
