So I'm running.
Ive been running for quite a while
now, it calms me.
Whenever mom and one of her jerk boyfriends
is home I run.
Just around the neighborhood once or twice.
I like the feel of the pavement slapping
against my sandals.
Sandals arent very good to run in but
I alwayys buy them to feel the
-smack-
on my feet.
And feel it tingle and slowly dissapate
through my body.
It helps me know Im grounded, still
in reality
Because when I run, I dream. I dream
Im not just Jane living in some
dump of a town, with her crack head
mother and her 'Boyfriend of the Day'.
Im Janet, with hair like silver,
skin like velvet, freckles like the
grains of sand on a beach all
over my body
And then -fwamp- my sandal smacks
the sole of my foot.
And I've returned to reality.

I'l edit it later for better writing effect..
I was inspired to write this sort of thing because Ive been reading alot of books my Ellen Hopkins.
She does a lot of work with teenagers who deal with drugs, sex and violence.
She writes fictional books that are taken from the real experiences theyve faced.
So i wanted to write something the way she does, her writing is all in free verse though, its beautiful.
