Deployment
He denied the words, “you saved me” but he did. He had always been my lighthouse on a dark sea. Showing me paths to take: options. Never giving me a choice to fail, just simply showing me the paths. Protecting me from the crashing waves. I’ve realized I was abandoned the light no longer shown for I needed to learn to sea alone. Now he’s the one at sea and I’m the lighthouse and I’m the one guiding him home.

I forget I even have a journal until I have a story to share. Never a good story. But a story nonetheless. Not a story my mom would want shared. Maybe because she is embarrassed. Just disappointed I guess. I am not really sure. I think she is worried.

Silenced by Fear
I sit quiet as she asks me questions, how can I answer, when you will take me? My family may not be perfect, but it is my family, they may not make me happy but they love me.

School, Where a crystal ball of ideas are formed and told to never shatter. Where creativity is allowed only in these four walls. Where the halls are filled with pistols of encouragement.
