Safe

A Shadow's Love

Don't you sometimes walk on the streets and wish your eyes could take pictures ? 

A beautiful night ? A cute puppy passing by ? An empty chair in a coffee shop that just looks pretty ... you want to take them with you, like a little jewelry box and hide them somewhere safe. 

Safe, that's the word we are looking for.

Safe ahs so many meanings to alot of people. It can be a nice warm safe place, safe as in having a good job that covers all your needs, safe when you lock your doors and windows tight, safe in the arms of your lover ... and many other definitions. 

To me, safe is when I'm calm, not thinking about my life's what ifs. I have been through so many things. That girl who died wasn't whom I wanted myself to be. I had dreams, safe ones, but the world wasn't safe for me. I had no home, no door to lock, no lover to protect me ... I was that girl who was left abandoned at the age of few weeks at some house's door step. Another meaning for safe. Who ever put me there thought that I was safe, or maybe they thought they are now safe after getting rid of me but I wasn't. They didn't want me and put me back where they found me. 

They maybe thought that I was safe with the social services and the social services thought that I was safe in the 5 different homes they put me in and I thought that I would be safe if I lived alone. 

But I wasn't  .... Never was and now I'm dead ... dead is safe, dead is definitely safe

This is sad story and some Triggers are on the way. It was just a scary idea running through my mind. I hope that through this short story, people will learn how important it is to just Care and Ask, take first steps and simply Try because you never know by doing that you might be saving a life.

Chapter 3: Well, I don't know what should I say but Ghad this is really a great story. You all wanted us to focus on the plot not the characters and I really like.

Chapter 1: Hello, Author-nim!
Sorry I was not able to keep up with your story as well as I should. As you know, I was writing my own story which was contained a plot of unrequited love, then I'm actually going through the same situation in my real life, so to read your story on top of all of that now that was more that I could bear emotionally. Now that I'm done with my story, even though the emotions are still pretty raw, I'll have a little more time to read your story. I just hope I can get through it, LOL. I'm sure you will dazzle me with your expert writing skills as always! I'm at work right now, but I will start reading at lunch time. Can't wait to see what happens!
