My name is Kyra (kee-rah)...I'm 18, and live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I'm a senior in high school...and I'm just trying to make it through this difficult battle called life.
I have seen more than most have in my lifetime. I know the goods and the evils of the world...the rights and the wrongs. I was in an extremely abusive relationship at the end of my freshman year, into the summer before my sophmore year. He abused me verbally, physically, mentally, and sexually. I broke things off, but he and his friends harrassed me the entire following sophmore year, causing me to miss a fair amount of school. The authority at my school did nothing about it. At the beginning of my junior year, I developed problems with panic attacks, and was having daily breakdowns at school. I was having reocurring nightmares every night, reliving things. He got away with everything. No justice was served.
Though traumatic, this has helped me to become who I am today. Am I sorry it happened? Yes. Do I regret it? No. I have nothing to regret. If what happened had never existed...I would not be the person I am today. I am strong. I am self-confident. I am aware.
I am a fighter -- A winner -- A survivor.
My trophies:
Gold: "Escape"
Silver: "Escape"
Bronze: "What Doesn't Kill You..."
Underoath // It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door
I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And its time for us to leave
Time is running on empty and the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I set love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time
Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high
As trees
And the world stopped for you and me
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So hold on tight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes
I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here
...Drowning in my sleep...
...I'm drowning in my sleep...
Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we'd be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this...
Pain has never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand with Him

Mellor on April 14, 2005Hey!
Came across you while spying on who was reading my featured poem and not commenting, and found your picture - you look identical to Beth Orton! Sorry, just had to point that out
Do you know her? She's a wonderful singer
I'm off to go read your poetry, but don't expect a comment. Pffft!

DisgruntledBadger on April 14, 2005You have a rare strength and a true gift in your talent. I admire you for the guts it took to share such personal experiences with the world. I know how it is to have missed a lot of school due to a situation nobody seemed to want to understand or help me with, and I can tell you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and no, it isn't a freight train. Hang in there, hon, 'cause life will get better, and you've got the guts and the sass to do anything you please with your life and talents.
