Story 1, a mind like the ocean (343 words long)
I begin writing in my journal, writing like I never have before. I need to get all these thoughts on paper so hopefully I can look back and smile because I know my future is bright and full of dreams being completed. I begin speaking as I write, I sort of know why but also I don't since it's only a guess, I want to remember it all with the details instead of without them, but also I want to get rid of the past and the things that hurt me the most and left me alone in pain.
I want to let go from the people that have hurt me because I know they won't even try to save me from falling. I dont want to remove myself as I do that because what am I without my interest, my hobbies, my random talks I give to people even though I know none of them care. If I do let go who's going to catch me before I land? The question will remain unanswered by no one else but me, because I know there will be no one there waiting to save me from plummeting down to the bottom of the ocean I have created in my mind. So beautiful yet scary to most people.
I'm sick of this all honesty, I want to get away from all of it but it's not in my control, nothing is. They all think they can control me and use me like a puppet. Yes that's probably a very overused saying but I don't care, this is my mind and I choose what I say and what I do, this way I can be a little free. I begin to hear vehicles pass by and I don't take to long to cover my ears. As I read through the words I had just written down on the book I pour my heart into, I notice I forgot to add one thing.
"Someday I hope someone will finally catch me, and save me from the nightmares I create."
