I tried I worked I was committed I thought I was good. And soon someone wasn’t going to sugar coat anything. I was happy with my work and then they came along. They knew I thought I was good But they thought otherwise. And the told the truth. It hurt. I thought I was good. Good enough that I needed no help. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. And after that my walls came down. I cried and deleted everything I had written. And then I could feel them. They wanted to help. And they did. But I didn’t help myself. I accepted the help. I got better. But I built my walls up again. And I knew building them again would mean next time they fell, I could break. And I did. Pride made me build the walls. And pride made me build them again. And pride broke me.

Two Lives Taken

Never trust a survivor until you know what they did to survive. Those were words I told myself for years. I never trusted anyone. Everyone did things to survive. Some people just did worse things than others. I told myself I couldn’t trust anyone for that very reason. Now the tables were turned. I was the one who couldn’t be trusted. I had to do it. I had to kill him. He was following me and I knew he was always armed to the teeth. He threatened me. He broke into my apartment and stole things. Then he took something that could never be given back. Something that no one could ever give to me or make. When he came back a week later I let him find me. I had to let him get close enough to me. When he found me I turned his gun on him. He didn’t expect it from me but he got it. I killed him. It was fast. It wasn’t messy. It wasn’t too painful. But I did it. I had known him long enough to know what he cared most about. He cared about himself. He took what mattered most to me. That was my sister. So I took what mattered most to him. That was himself. Maybe I shouldn’t be trusted. But maybe I did what I had to do. There’s a reason for everything, isn’t there?

Taking the Fall

The girl was one of the most innocent in the world. She had no flaws. To the human world she was perfect. Her golden hair fell to her waist and her eyes were the brightest blue. Her mother watched her go higher and higher on the swings from the bench. She knew she would one day need to let go. She feared the day she had to leave her sister alone. The world they lived in was dangerous. It was better if she left the child here while her life went on. People were watching them. People that were not visible to the naked eye. She could feel their attention. Today she had to let go. She went to her sister on the swings and her jelly sneakers planted in the sand. The young girl looked at Lisa with questioning eyes. “It’s time for me to go,” Lisa said to her sister. “I know you don’t understand now but you will. In a few short years you will understand all of this. And when you do understand you will meet challenges no other child will ever face. When you face those challenges you must be brave. When you understand you will run and save yourself because I saved you. Every day I will be watching over you. I want you to remember that mother and father did something and I am paying the price for them. I want you to remember that I will be watching you grow into the amazing you h lady you are meant to be. I won’t be right next to you but I’m going to be there. Do you understand?” The girl nodded her head and Lisa kissed the top of her head. Her sister was so innocent and clueless. She had known for so long today would come. She had been preparing herself for what she would face. She knew the horrors that were ahead of her. She stood up and left the girl on the swings. She walked away and into the forest. There waiting was exactly who she expected. He had been waiting for this. She could tell by the smirk on his face. “Finally decided to let go?” He asked her. Lisa didn’t say anything as she kept her gaze on him steady. She wasn’t going to let his looks fool her. He was a snake coiled up and encircling her. He reached out for her and took her arm and she tensed at his cold touch. And they walked into darkness. She didn’t know what he was going to do to her. She didn’t know what he would make her watch. She only knew this was better than her sister having to take the fall because no one else would.
