life was heavy the ground cold and hard bricks upon bricks on my chest I am unable to breathe with everything happening around me people rushing by people with their own place to be but here I am unable to move or even breathe I lay there silently screaming unable to move unable to breathe on top of the heaviness was the emptiness all around me.

My story isn't over it has only just begun these scars tell stories of where I came from. I have a story to be told and I am ready to share. My life wasn't always like how it is now you see my life was turned upside down nothing seemed right and I wanted to give up I did not stop I kept going along my scars they show me how far away I once was I look at them time to time and remember how far I came and How hard I fought Now I sit here I tell you my story or what I have so far. Because It is not quiet over there is more to be told.

My Story Isn't Over

My story isn't over it has only just begun these scars tell stories of where I came from. I have a story to be told and I am ready to share. My life wasn't always like how it is now you see my life was turned upside down nothing seemed right and I wanted to give up I did not stop I kept going along my scars they show me how far away I once was I look at them time to time and remember how far I came and How hard I fought Now I sit here I tell you my story or what I have so far. Because It is not quiet over there is more to be told.

I was a freshmen Scared and small I slammed my locker On that September day Then the next day I was in a new grade I was suddenly a senior Making my way Just like that I was no longer so small And just like that Freshmen year seemed so far As I made my way To graduation day I tried so hard to not cry For saying goodbye Would be the hardest part. We threw up our caps We paraded away. And nothing I said, Could change that day. We hugged our teachers, our parents, and friends. For on that day Our life truly began. School was all over College was a night away. We packed up my bags, That September day. My mom began to cry, My dad held it in. For they knew I would be A car ride away. They watched as their Daughter drove away To start her new life At college that day.

He took something that September day something that wasn't his a thing oh so precious that I could never again give He took the one thing I needed to keep me new He can't give it back I look back to that day tears in my eyes; I look to the night sky I see the moon the stars and myself I was once so simple so innocent then it came and brought me to earth it struck me hard I can never turn back I hit the ground I feel the real pain now a year has past now but yet I still have pain for he took something something that wasn't his

Wasn't his

He took something that September day something that wasn't his a thing oh so precious that I could never again give He took the one thing I needed to keep me new He can't give it back I look back to that day tears in my eyes; I look to the night sky I see the moon the stars and myself I was once so simple so innocent then it came and brought me to earth it struck me hard I can never turn back I hit the ground I feel the real pain now a year has past now but yet I still have pain for he took something something that wasn't his

And just like that the light peaked through the dark sky, the sky that had been dark for too long. I finally saw the sun, felt it against my face, then I saw hope. Hope for the future hope for the pain I could feel the dark fade away I could see the sun appear more and more I felt the hope ground under my bare feet I stood, arms open palms to the sky I could feel the warmth that I had missed for too long I saw the hope that night I saw the future I had it in front of me close enough to reach there it was hope all for me

Life wasn’t what I thought hoped or even dreamed as I sat you looking at me I could see the pain in your eyes I could tell you were upset and as I walked away that day I let it go because to me you were a **** then three years later I lie in a made bed looking at a guy I didn’t know I am sure he saw the pain just as I saw yours I am a kid a kid who lived in fear lived in pain from the choices I made now a year later I sit and rejoice I have learned from the past I have sat and listened to my heart I am still a kid Still a growing girl but I have changed in the best way I could I am a new girl

without you the sky doesn’t seem as blue without you the rain falls more the clouds are gray and the sun not as bright because without you life just isn’t right something about life doesn’t work the way it used too. I just wish I had one more night to see your face to give you a hug to say I love you because without you my TV is black and white my sugar not as sweet my chips not as crunchy without you I wouldn’t know what to do I used to sit and wonder what life would be if I couldn’t count to three and see your face what would it be if I couldn’t count to thirteen and see morning sun with you because without you the grass isn’t green and the roses aren’t as red because without you life just feels dead But now I can feel it I can see that if I count to 113 you couldn’t see me If I’d known this when I held you in my arms I would never let go! because without you my life is gray my eyes filled with tears and My lips quivering so right now I have you but not for long so Hold on tight B-man because it is going to be the ride of your life.
