Trapped

Trapped behind the metal wall only to escape and enjoy freedom, but to come right back to this depressing spot. The crunch of the snow follows me everywhere I go. Walking is my only transportation. These kids make fun of me because I don't have what they have. New clothes, cell phones, and....friends. Escaping this place is my only dream. Staying here and getting teased is my biggest nightmare. I wish someone would like me, but no one wants to be friends with a loser like me, who wallows in there own self-pity. I keep thinking things are going to get better, but nothing ever happens. Life can get better, but I doubt it will.

Only people I can talk to is my teachers. My parents, I hope, would have wanted me to have everything. But they aren't here. Sad enough, the only person who actually understands me is my teacher, Mrs. Gottke. "My life sucks!" I complained to her one day after the bell rang for school to be over with.We both sat down and she responded, "How so?" I continued my complaining. "My parents died when I was seven. My house burnt down the day after." I felt the tears build up. Mrs. Gottke gave me a hug and told me it will get better.

After that day, everything got better. I was strolling down the street, proud and happy. Everything changed. Grey skies with big depressing dark clouds turned into bright blue skies with thick, fluffy, white clouds. The snow finally melted, bringing back the luscious fields of beautiful green grass. I skipped into the office and sat down. "Ma'am, he is ready to see you." The nurse called. I jumped up and walked back there. Thirty minutes later, I walked out with no sign of a smile.

Death wasn't easy! But everyone has to face it sooner or later. Now, was my time, my chance to escape! And I wasn't going to miss it. Cancer has spread through my body quickly. I had only two days left to prepare. Depression took over me once again. Cancer. I shouldn't have been so stupid.After two days passed, i found the orphanage once again. I stood prouldlyin the spot, feeling trapped behind a metal wall but this time, I will escape and enjoy the freedom forever!!
