Aug 2010
Stroking back the cream colored hair and staring into colorless eyes.
I see the future, the past, and slowly turn away for something better that was not there.

Holding her chin aloft, I smiled.  I felt nothing but hate.
But that hate turned into fear and that fear paralyzed all emotions,
and drowning I turned away to run.

Forsaken by family, forlorn by friends.
I asked "Why"?
"Because" was the answer, and it wasn't good enough.

Withdrawn from the world. No childhood, no love.
Locked in a room with no key, escaping from reality.
Reveling in fantasy!

Looking to be free of me.
