Somewhere Inside


By Claire
Age 16


Somewhere inside you, there is a child that needs to be nurtured. A child neglected as a result of walking down the wrong road, getting lost, and needing a direction to go to get to where you want to be.

This child must not be surpressed. You need to explore your identity, and meet yourself.

Reach out to the stars, and pull them down, enjoy the special gift that you have. Know that you are lucky, still to have a child inside of you when others had grown up long ago.

You are capable of exceeding what you were expected to be, you are able to change your world and alter your perspective of it. Very few are given the oppertunity to do this.

These are the things that make me happy when I want to give up, I hope that I can help other people, because it's what I like doing.
