This is My Voice

by Turtlerose555

Everyone has a thought in their minds, a thought they would never say out loud, because they feel like no one is listening to them. And if they actually had the guts to tell you what's on their mind, this is what they would say...FINAL ONE UP!

1. Riley's voice

My name is Riley Freeman, and this is My Voice

If I had a voice, I would tell you

How my most cherished childhood memory was when I was in the 4th grade

and my older brother and I used to jump on the trampoline in the back yard on summer evenings.

When we got tired, we would just lie down on it and look up at the stars.

We would both be in awe of how big the universe is.

I felt so small.

It was suffocating.

One night, I remember that I felt really sad,

really lonesome because of all that space

and I turned my head and looked at my brother.

I noticed his eyes had begun to tear up, and watched as one rolled down his cheek.

I had never seen Huey cry before.

I didn't know what to do, so I just patted him on the shoulder.

We didn't say a single word.

We just stayed there for what felt like a long time.

I meantioned the story one day in front of Huey's friends, but he smacked me upside my head really hard.

So if you ask me what's my favorite childhood memory? I'll tell you winning the little league basketball trophy.
