STORY STARTER
“I never belonged here anyway.”
Write a story that ends with this line.
Like A Caged Animal
Well fuck.
Letting my grades slip
Not doing my homework
Drawing on the bathroom walls
Cutting myself again
What am I doing?
It’s like I’m prepared
For my life to be over
Or at least to run away
But I haven’t run away yet
What the fuck is up with me?
Trying to write lyrics
Avoiding the mirror at all costs
Reading during lunch to forget
The knawing of my appetite
What the fuck am I doing?
Motherfucker.
Anxiety attacks
Randomly
Except it’s not random
And I keep checking the news
Seeing if the kids died
Or if they’re still in critical condition
And I keep seeing
That blood running down his neck
That looked like bad movie effects
And I keep glancing
To see if she’s glancing back
She’s not of course
And I keep writing
Determined not to tell anyone
About my pain
And I keep REALIZING
Again and again
That I am becoming
Everything that
That little kid
Would hate.
I need out
Anyway
Anywhere
Whether down below or just
To another city
Where I’ll figure a way to survive
Sure, my “friends” will all miss me
I’m scared that I’m
Holding it all together
And if I am?
That makes me even more certain
That I never belonged here anyways.
