Plunging into a deep dark sea
Looks like it's the bottom for me
People look and whisper who is she
Sheepish grins are directed with glee
Up creeps the scarlet red blush
I turn away in quite the rush
It seems with fate I've had a brush
And my voice lulls into a quiet hush
Excitement is the emotion I'll feign
Deep inside thought I'll feel the pain
The colour in my face begins to drain
No encouragement will I ever gain
Some day soon I'll dry my tears
And push away my constant fears
Of not being accepted by fellow peers
I'll just wait until my head clears
For now I just have to stop crying
Not listen to all the people lying
They say we should live like we're dying
One day I know my soul will be flying
Author notes
This is how I used to see myself.. so I guess this would follow under category B.
I've also been through alot in my life.. from being drugged, raped and beaten by a friend... to beaten by parents... to being beaten by my ex fiance. I have had cancer 6 times since I was 19, so in the last 2 years. I lost the greatest person in my life, my grandfather to cancer, as well as my best friend, who was hit by a train. I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was 16.
Now though, I am moving on with my life... I am in a wonderful relationship, and just found out I am having a baby!! Life can turn around... you just gotta roll with it, and believe that one day, things will finally start to go right in your life... even when it seems that there is no hope at all..............

Wow
All that you have been through; I coudlnt' believe it when I read your author notes ... you must be a very strong person; someone said to me last night that I was a strong person, but in comparason to you, I haven't gone through anything major whatsoever ...
Congratulations for never giving up...

gosh. yes a very powerfull piece indeed, loved the description you gave to describe your emotions.
the last two verses for me were the most powerful ones and really inspiring. i really ike it how you've started at the begging of a 'tunnel' and by the end although you're stil not out you can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I admire you inspiration for life now and how far you have come. and congratulations on having a baby.
thankyou for entering, and good luck
