HPAC Young Writers Review Volume II | Page 33

weaklings don’t deserve any of the good graces bestowed on them by clueless girls. The male species has hurt me way too many times, and I’m not letting it happen again. I’ll hurt them before they even touch me or dare speak those sickening phrases they use on others. Strong people like me can’t believe their words. I do thank them for ringing the bells of reality to a girl who believed in rubbish. Those males taught me to be realistic so I won’t fall again. To be honest, I’m scared of them. They taught me to fear them. It’s fear that helps me hate them and be realistic in a world where happy endings don’t exist. I’ll never be able to rely on any of them because if I do, I’ll be broken once more, and I’m not letting that happen. I could never love anyone, even if I didn’t hate him, because I get nervous around guys. I feel like something is nibbling my heart, slowly eating my soul. The memories will always stay imprinted in my soul, leaving a mark unable to be erased. This mark is part of me so I can’t deny it, either. This mark carved within me started with two sets of eyes. The first set of eyes is crimson red. These eyes contain greed and an untamable hunger, ready to devour me alive. Just staring at those eyes is enough to make me shiver and want to scream in terror. One look is all it takes to trap you in torment. Those same eyes rip away the innocence of young girls. I could never be normal because of him. I hate the one with the crimson eyes. The guy with the blue eyes stole my heart and my rationality. The round big eyes look into me and expose everything I keep deep within my heart. His child-like actions and childish face are all I seem to notice about him. He’s always so nice to me it hurts. To be honest with myself, I don’t know how to feel about him. He made me feel ways I have never felt before, and I hate it. Maybe it could be love but I don’t believe in love. He disappeared from my life, taking my heart and leaving in its place questions, and many things I don’t understand. I think if he hadn’t left maybe things would be different. I could have forgotten the past. Maybe one day I’ll be able to move on. 6 Train Volume II: 2013–2014 | 33
