My 13 yr old daughter wrote this for the school online paper...i wanted to share it. I am so proud of her writings.

Fading into the Present
by> A. Cole
My childhood has been dissolving away like sugar crystals in water, only leaving me with the vague memories of who I once was.

I feel like someone is stealing my life from me little by little. Lately I have become robotic and frozen on autopilot with nothing I can do.

Looking in from an outsider’s perspective I may seem like an ordinary, average, bubbly girl; but on the inside I’m losing myself, slowly disappearing within my soul.

I’m petrified that along with everything else in my life, my personality is changing as well. My exterior is so fake and painted on that I have forgotten who I truly am.

Every fiber in my mortal self only wishes to fade away from the many wars dictating my life, and the grave pressures that are brought upon me in this modern society.

My only wish is to just simply fade… deep into the shadows of life, without a sound or thought of the future that awaits me. Just the peace and tranquility of nothingness wrapping around my mind.

thank you

can't wait to hear this :)

So many feelings mixed together
feels like I am going to errupt
Full of hope, could this possibly be
what I have longed for
Engulfed with fear
as I watch it quickly slip out of reach
Overflowing with love
at the thought of his gentle touch
Enraged with contempt
is it to much to ask to be loved the way I can only imagine
Overpowered by lonliness
that surrounds me

I would rather be numb
