Tired
I'm tired of being hated for being different.
Of being underestimated because I am small.
Of being responsible because no one is willing.
Of feeling worthless because I am not perfect.
Of wearing a mask so that I will fit in.
Of hiding my emotions so that I won't appear weak.
Of being sad because I rarely have reason to be happy.
Of being ignored because I am quiet.
Of being scorned because I refuse to be classified.
Of feeling outcast because I am smart.
Of being harsh so that I will not be hurt.
Of hiding my hurt because it won't be returned with love.
Of being angry because there is no affection.
Of failing because the bar is too hi

We don't want to take him off just yet, but we may be able to do it at some point in the near future. He's healthy for the condition he's in, Mrs. Gregori. Everything is fine for the time being, except for the fact that he isn't waking up."
The voices woke me from the terrible nightmare I'd been having. I remembered getting ready for bed-- I had had a long day at work and I was incredibly tired, more so than usual. I
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to continue writing on my story. My current computer doesn't have a good writing program on it. However, I just bought a Microsoft Office Word CD off of eBay so we'll see if I can make some progress when that gets here.
Well, I'm finally back. I've been at basic training for the National Guard and now that that's done with i can get started back on my book again. Sorry to anyone who has been waiting and is still interested in the next chapter. I'll be working on it so be prepared.
Hey guys, feel free to comment on anything I write now or in the future. I enjoy people's opinions and I'm always eager to improve. I realize it's long but I would especially appreciate reviews on the book I'm writing. I'm currently working on Chapter 5.
