Christine

Christine has social phobia

She doesn’t like to go outside

She is cooped up inside all day,

Hunched over a book or on the

Computer. Her days are filled

With boredom and gloom.

At the mere age of 12, she is

Accustomed to the world

That is the inside of her own

Home. She has no goals

No life, no hopes, no dreams,

She is trapped inside a box

And she can’t seem to get out

And that angers her

She hates herself for being this

Way, she wishes she could be like

Other kids. Her parents don’t care,

In fact they barely notice that she’s

There. She wonders if this is all life

Has in store for her, and for the first time

In her life, she hopes, she prays that

She’ll change.
