Loneliness

Desolate. Forlorn. Lonesome. Life is such a lonely place to be. I was taken from my family as a child and surrounded by doctors and people, but I've always been alone. I can pretend to be anyone I want to be, but I can't pretend to have togetherness. I'm always moving from one place to another, changing my name, changing my identity. I can pretend to be anyone but me. I don't know who I am and that's a terrible feeling. Not knowing where your family is, not knowing who your friends are. I miss Sydney, too. He was like the father I didn't have. But I was never like his child. I was only his test subject, his prize project. Miss Parker was my escape, my freedom, my chance at love and life and everything good. But it all disappeared as she grew older and was told more lies. Her mother didn't kill herself, her mother wanted to help. Help me, help Angelo, and Kyle and Eddie and Alex and Ethan and Lyle and Miss Parker. She lost her faith in man-kind, so I lost her. I miss Angelo, his garbled sentences only wishing to guide us to where we should be. I miss my family, my brothers, my sister, my parents. I never knew them, except Ethan, and I don't even know where he is right now. I don't know if I'll ever find them. I may only find more lies and more traps. Or I may find the truths I've been looking for. I may find the salvation I've been praying for. I may find the forgiveness for all the wrongs I've committed. I'm alone and I think it'll forever be that way. I always wanted to believe I could change the story, change my destiny. I always believed I would get away from the Centre and right everything bad in the world. I still do believe in man, believe that beneath all the unneeded hate and crimes is a good race of people, a good reason for us all being on this Earth. I will continue to try to absolve my life and make living worthwhile. I will never stop searching for the truth and for happiness. Happiness that lies within family. Related family and my mismatched family; Sydney, Angelo, Broots, and most of all, Miss Parker. Withdrawn. Secluded. Solitary. I am surrounded by loneliness, but I will never stop helping people to fill that emptiness that is inside my heart.
