| The island... |
| Another realm thousand of miles away full of beauty of enchantment called to me like a siren song beckoning me to stay forever. I went there thinking, I want to stay I love it here this is my home. Everyday we dance and sing around the bonfire without a care in the world until the sun dips into the horizon. But at night when the moons out and everyone's asleep I hear another place calling and waiting for me to come back. I dont know where it is but I know I must go and leave the island to find out so I try to one night I get on the boat and it slowly drifts into the sea but three miles out it turns right back! Noone can leave the island it said making its way back to shore But I must leave I thought! Just for a while anyway. This is your home now the boat explained. you came to us when your other world pushed you away and you know the rules - you have to stay!! Days whirled by as I realized this world isn't for me. I can't dance all day like some sort of zombie. But I did out of force. I twirled around the bonfire like a gypsie along with everyone else trying to figure a way out. Weeks later after several attemps to escape I got down on my knees one night and prayed " Lord please take me away!" and fell dead asleep right after. The next morning when I arose, I thought why bother and when I rose from my bed I found myself back home actually wanting to mow the lawn do the dishes , take out the trash and get registered for school because even with the work I know now deep in my heart this was my real home because the people here are not zombies but people that genuinely care about me and I care about them too. |
