Chapter 1 (Beginning)

"...Of course, they wouldn't understand. They've been pampered their whole life. They don't know how it feels to be me. They don't know what it's like to see your mother get beat by your dad for six years. They don't know what it's like to be pushed around by everyone you know. They'll never understand. Nobody will."
I let my fear bring me down. I locked myself in my mind thinking I was alone. I was scared if I let somebody in I would be hurt again but then I realized...The change I was avoiding was the one that would give me wings...so I changed...and I flew.
