When I Was Younger
When I was younger I could fly. I could leap from a rock and soar over a sea of green.
This was a place all my own where I could be free for a fleeting moment. This world was
shrouded by trees and it left me isolated. That was not a bad feeling, it was a good one,
an amazing one. To be away from everyone and find peace among the trees. The trees
felt more solid and alive than any person I’d met. I could confide in the trees and they
would listen. I could love the trees and feel that they loved me back and, it was the trees
that let me fly.
When everything felt wrong, the trees made it better. When I was teased and bullied
and emotionally destroyed, the trees stood by my side. I could be ostracized by my
peers but, the trees could not turn their backs on me.

She giggled. “Ok, I guess its kinda funny.” They were sitting hunched over his computer, looking up random funny images that had nothing to do with tenth grade history. The were teens after all. “Eh, what you two talkin’ about” “Nothing, miss” they answered in unison. Miss Ursula was nothing to mess with, if her thick pidgin English was nothing to show.-Bursting with Words
Self worth -
You are worth as much as you can believe you are. Others will judge you based on appearance. You will see your appearance based on how others have judged you. we are limited by the vary walls of our minds, to what we can see and feel. Thus cutting all short of reaching their full potential. Inspiration come in the form of hope- but what is hope? Hope is not self pity. But rather one finding self worth and striving for better. Disclosing the worlds detrimental interventions and pressing on.
