A bad person

Eimear · 2008-01-31T21:28:05Z

I don't suppose you'll believe that it all started with a can of coke. But then again, for quite some time, no one has really believed what ever I've said much. Last summer changed all that. And I'm going to tell you why. For sixteen years of my life, I've felt hard done by. If you haven’t already guessed by now, the world, along with the two key elements designed for adolesant disaster by the name of 'My Parents' have screwed me up. Let me paint you a nice little picture of myself, so that you can all frown, and turn away, mildly disgusted. I'm the kid you see standing on the street corner on a Saturday night, as well as all the other nights of the week- smoking, drinking, out of my mind on things you'd rather not hear. Pale skin, tall, dark eyes staring mutinously from overgrown brows and premature wrinkles. And that's just what you see. Crime is a dirty, petty job, but somebody's gotta do it. And I assure you, I've got no airs or graces when it comes to getting a little blood on my hands. Easy as breathing, once you've done it enough times. But enough about me. Because I'm not writing it for my own self esteem. Nor am I writing it because I ended up in some secure place where they like you to write down all your feelings. God knows I'm not doing for my parents. This is for the street children of Romania. Because without them, there would be no amazing metamorphosis of me- the 'doomed youth'. And without them, there would be no story. Want to hear more?

Hey Eimer, thanks for the read, I'm sure we can all relate to the narrarator, one way or another. You've got the start of a very interesting story here. The critiques have been covered I suppose, so off to the next chapter

. Take care

To be a hero is not to be out of the ordinary, it is to be ordinarily remarkable.
