I fell asleep and woke up later on in the evening . I walked out of my room and went straight to the place I was about to jump from a week ago only this time with a different mission . "Hey!" Oh hey Josy . "What are you doing here "?she questioned .I'm here for fresh air ."I've learnt two new songs on my guitar do you want to listen to them ?" Sure ,Josy. "Wait here for me I'll be back." She said . I waited there for five minutes before I saw her running with her wooden guitar. "Ok here we go"she said . "This song was written by Hope Ahlers but it's dedicated to you by me ."Dear baby birdDear sparrow You look alot like me when I lost my wings Dear baby bird don't be discouraged maybe freedom doesn't come in touching the sky ChorusYou can fly in the ocean You can soar in your soul you don't need wings to feel free Dear baby bird Dear sparrowDon't feel pressure I know you just wanted to heal Dear sparrowJust hush now may be freedom comes when We don't need to make a soundY
I opened my eyes to see that I was in a ward room with Josy by my side sleeping . The stress I must have put her through , since it was almost morning. I felt pain everywhere and my headache was more than anything I had ever felt . Was this my punishment for not dying with them or was Josy the angels send protect me. I just hope that I don't experience another breakdown and I live a little longer to experience what true family love is an what having a relationship feels like. I fell asleep thinking of when my life would take a turn . "Riley , Dexion hide don't come out till I tell you to. Okay sweethearts " Okay mom ,we said systematically. Mom I want to listen to one of your many poems . " Okay sweetheart here it goes , The song of my heart is like the clouds with it's tears ,it's like a poets words to it's audience,it's like a heart beat with it's thumping sound , what's the beauty of a faded rose lost among the dept of soil , what's the beauty of a star if it stops twinkling , wha
I was being discharged today, which is great news since I've been waiting to continue the story of my life with Josy . I would have loved to be fourteen again if it meant to be with Johan again . I wish I could freeze the time I was fourteen . The time I had a friend and a brother. Since I lost Johan I lost my home , my friend, my brother and my only family . Could it be that he got fed up with me or he lost interest in me but there again if my own family left me why won't someone I met not long ago.Thinking of this I did not realize the droplet of water that flowed through my eyes . You never really know how much someone means to you until you loose that person . There is a pain within this heart, My pain within my sadness through my eyes, My eyes are like a burden that you can see right through, No pain I ever felt was that single broken heart that, There is way out of this pain but somehow I can't see it , See the light , the hope ,the happiness I once wanted to feel , Now I ever f
It is hard to get my head around , can you hear the voices behind the shadows?My silent plea, my beggings,the scars on me are telling thier stories. I know its selfish to ask for more but this pain is more than fire. My sorrowed heart only holds one name Johan a person it can't seem to find .Behind the shadows i am told time will heal my wounds and that my grief is worth it .Its hard when you find out that you are not as importante to someone as you thought .Imagine cutting your finger the pain, the brief confusion before you notice the blood . See the light grab it all before you experience the darkness life has in store. "Riley wake up, its morning .'' Josy said holding a plate full of food . ''Here have your breakfast i have something to tell you after.'' Josy thanks for yesterday if you had not been there i dont know what would have happened. ''Its fine we are friends so whats the big deal.'' Thanks again Josy. I finished eating my food and followed Josy to where she was taken me
I knocked on Josy's door as I thought of what to say .I heard a faint come in and I walked into her room . Josy I'm done with what you asked for ." Yay!! Riley , have a seat you are one step away from achieving your goal . Can I have a look at what you wrote?" Yeah ,sure . I gave the book to Josy only to see her with an undescribable expression after reading it . Is it good or bad ? I questioned. "It's better than I imagined . You are not actually mentally unstable , you are just scared and turn to have illusions of the people who caused you harm . This is termed as post traumatic stress disorder. It is a disorder that may occur to people who have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event .'' So what are we going to do . '' That would be a tale for another day.Right now i only have one question that is , what did you like doing before all this happened ?'' I loved to read. I remember reading Nancy Drew's stories and they were simply amazing. '' Really i love reading too . Why not give
I opened Josy's door and handed over the book to her , I don't know why but while reading it I felt all my problems move aside it was like I was moving back to how I was only with the fact that I was stuck at one place. Josy this is the book from yesterday it was about,Every mother's wish to have a healthy baby when born. A baby that was born without any complications but my life was not like that. At the age of eight Irene was diagnosed with leukaemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia . It was not that rare in children so she wondered why she had to face this . Mostly her mum would come sleep with her since sleeping became a problem for her . She was told that it was due to a history of immune system suppression . Normally she got peel skin , infection , fever , coughing ,easy bleeding and bruising ,weakness and shortage of breath at night. She had been told by her mum many times not fear or to think too much as it may lead to me suffering from even more symptoms.She believed in God an
It's been three months since Josy started her treatment with me . In these three months I've learnt to let go of the past. I gradually came to understand that I had all along been practicing the avoidance therapy. I had been trying to shut down the bitter memories of my past by keeping to myself, thereby becoming a mental recluse. I had been avoiding people, scenes, and events that brought back my bitter memories instead of facing and coming to terms with them. My therapist Josy saw it as her responsibility to help remove those scares on my memory . Whenever I experience a flashback of frightening events from my past she would step in to help me cope with the situation . I kept wondering why she was so keen to help me . Occasionally she will try remedies like asking me to look around at the beautiful world . . On one occasion she asked "when you look into the sky what do you see?" "I can see a lot of white foamy clouds shaded b
I realized how my therapist seemed interested in my back ground . She asked lots of questions whenever she returned from work about my past . She researched the locations of a few of them and manage to link me up to with them . One day she told me my parents wanted to come over for us to talk . I was astonished, why now after two years . But yet still I accepted to see them, there were some scores we needed to settle . Mom , I called out seeing her . She had aged so much in these two years . The last time I saw her was in January last two years before I ended up here. " How are you doing mom?" I asked "I've had better days." she said with teary eyes. "How is dad doing ? Why didn't he come ? Where is my brother ? How is he also ?" I asked . " Your brother is fine ." She said ." What about dad?" I asked . With that being said she broke down in tears " He is not okay he has been hospitalized for a year now and doctors are saying he has six months left to live " she said "I'm sorry Rile
