WRITING OBSTACLE
Change
Fire
Grief
Using these three words, explain in first person why your character had to run away from their hometown.
Change
I wanted to change
I wanted to make me look like myself
They wouldn’t let me
They wouldn’t accept me
Their words burned
Worse than fire ever could
So I ran
I ran away in the night
And though I’ll miss my house
And feel just a hint of grief
For the friends I once had
I won’t return
Because the people I knew are gone
Replaced by the ones who won’t understand
Note: definitely not my best work. I had an idea but it kinda got lost once we got to the actual running away part. So, yeah.
Another Note: I’m not trans myself but the character is, so that’s kinda what it’s about
