Home

I wake up feeling fresh just as if I came out of the dryer. I walk down the stairs tip toeing so no one can hear me walk around my home, my safe place. In joy I skip, I walk, and I jog. I silently run in the dark then I stop and think and think harder than my thought disappears as if it was air. I sit down and wonder is this a dream? Is this real? I softly approach my arm ready to touch myself thinking nothing will happen. Right before I do a light flickers and my mom comes down tells me softly to get back in bed. I get back in bed my mom tucks me to sleep leaving a warm kiss on my head.
