Fear and Pain. You need both to get stronger. You need both to push you through the battles of your life. But at the end of the battle. You must learn to get rid of the fear and pain, or be consumed. - Jack_the pumpkinking

As I ride down the hill on the sled,
I feel the warmth of the town,
I feel that nothing is real,
I remember my father,
My mother,
My sister,
The Giver,

I remember those days being the elders puppet,
Not able to see color,



















not feeling love or hate,



















(Insert nose here)








My mind returns to the swirling wind and snow around me,









warmth of the town comes closer,

The town reminds me of Christmas,

I remember one last memory,
Starts to fade away,
everything slips,
into darkness....

I wrote this about the book the giver. But it also pertains to how it may look like adults may run our lives we can still get away and be our own through our writing.
