Candle Light: Creative Writing: Candle Light

Candle Light Creative Writing Everyone has seen a Disney movie at least once in his or her lives. Most people know the story of Rapunzel. A girl, locked away in a tower for years until her prince came to get her. I was that girl for a long time. Lonely, sad, wanting to know what life was like outside of the walls. The walls of my own head, made up of fear, undiscovered courage, and hatred. I had nowhere to go and a lot of time to get there. I was trapped in my head with no windows and no doors. I was depressed. In middle school I was threatened. There was a girl in my school who did not like me very much. She told me one day that she was going to punch me in the face. I never talked to her or even looked at her because she …show more content…
I should have approached someone else once no one did anything to help me. I was trapped. Not only by my head and my emotions but by the threats and comments made by others. In middle school and even when you are older depending on the situation people say, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt you”, well that was not the case. They DO hurt and they will always hurt unless you do something about it. I never did anything about it though. I thought I could keep all my problems to myself and not let any of them show at ALL. My parents were always there for me. I loved them with all my heart, but I felt like I could no t even tell them. I felt like they did not understand me or what I was going through at that time. I was very depressed. I though about what life would be without me but I could not bring myself to force my hand. Suicide. The supposed answer to all of lives problems when it gets too unbearable.

I was still in sort of a shell the second half of my 7th grade year but it was exponentially better. This was a major change for my confidence. It was like I was a whole new person. Then my 8th grade year hit and I totally let myself out there. I joined the track team and got 4th in state in shot put and in discus and had an amazing time. And then I had a thrilling summer full of laughs and joyous memories. Then came time for registration and I made a life changing decision. I decided to discontinue my time at Cedaredge and went back to my old school, full of the people who hated me. But it went better than planned. They saw my change in personality and loved it. I had friends again. I did volleyball, basketball, and tennis that year and had a blast. Everything was perfect. I wasn’t bound by any walls or by the chains around my emotions. My prince charming didn’t have to find me because I found him first. Sure it took some time but that all a part of the fun. My
