I was born, wild and free
May, 6, 1999
My very first year, I was feelin’ fine

I could walk, I could talk, I could let it show
May, 6, 2001
Three and playing

Five and proud

Sad and sorry, We moved yet again. My first best friend, I’ll never see her again
May, 6, 2008
Ten and happy, I was destined for greatness. I would be a pokemon master.
May, 6, 2009
Scared, that’s all I knew. My parents said divorce, they don’t mean it right? They wouldn’t do this to us.
May, 6, 2010
They went through with it. What can I do? How do I know they both love me back too?
May, 6, 2011
I feel so lost. I want my mommy and daddy right here. But only one at a time is ever even near.

The world didn’t end, but I wish it had. My life feels so empty without my dad. He’s still alive, but that’s all I know. He says he loves but it’s all a show.

I am alone, no one is there. There’s no one to whom my feelings can share.
I see the bars, inside my mind, they’re cold and they’re gray, They make up my cell.
Welcome to a room you don’t leave at the bell.
Why did this happen?
I’m in despair
I just want someone to show me they care.
I fake a smile
So no one will know
No emotions
No feelings
Don’t let them show

I’m in high school, it’s not so bad, but when I get home
I’m back in my cage
I want to be a kid again
Even at my age
So much heartbreak
So many tears
I didn’t think this much was possible in so few years
I thought I’d be thirty before this
But I guess I was wrong
I’ll never find the one place I truly belong

No one can see me
And I doubt they would care
I will get to see the world out there
This a promise
My guarantee
I won’t let my future get away from me
I will get out
I will break free
For all of the world to see
I won’t let this continue to happen to me
This ends at some point just wait and see

May, 6, 2014
I’m not there yet
But soon will be
One day I will be wild and free
But for now
I’m still stuck here
Just like for the past four years
What did I do?
Is it the end of my sentence?
Do I get a phone call?
I feel so much rage
Outside I’m a girl
But inside I’m a girl, Who’s locked in a cage.
