I can't be like everyone else. I have expectations, shoes to fill and a large group of teenage girls wishing they could have my head on a silver platter.

It has always been like this, one expectation after the other, one more step higher and sometimes you crack. You crack and you take it out on people, you crack and the staircase you were climbing crumbles and you are right back at square one.

The fall has happened before, over and over until the staircase reached harder and harder and what I though was going to be my last crack

The bigger the lie, the easier it is to believe.

The higher the stakes, richer is the reward.

The harder you work, the sweeter the outcome.

These were spoken to me all my life, every step of the incline, swirling in my mind until I cracked, and I had to pick up the pieces.

When you fall you change, when you fall you have to toughen, and when you get to a point you adapt and you learn to live in away to avoid the staircase.

My name is Devyn Ayumo Raymen and I have learned to adapt. I left the staircase behind as well as my past life and nothing won't let it's lies take me down anymore.

I left the life of the staircase and I will pave myself a freeway.
