When my eyes close
I don't sleep ever. That's why I'm never at school. I can't close my eyes without remembering the days when we were all scared., and sometimes I can see his face in my mind, his smug mug shot makes me sick. I got a letter a year ago yesterday asking for me to appear in court with the rest of my family, I deferred the invite to breath the same air as that asshole. It makes my mother cry when I talk about how it just about claimed my sanity. I think it's easier to write about. I want to tell you the story, but I can't. It's way to hard to explain without the backstory and that will take all day. So just know that it started with a fire and ended with New Jersey. For the next 25 years it will be New Jersey, then I'm getting a gun. Because I am not going to be scared, I want to close my eyes and see light. Not his orange jump suit.
