I'm back, yet again.

Chapter Ten: Days Go By
I'm changing lanes and talkin' on the phone
Drivin' way too fast.
And the interstate's jammed with gunners like me
Afraid of comin' in last.
But somewhere in the race we run,
We're coming undone...
My name is Terra. I'm a Teen Titan. I have a home. I have friends who care about me. I have a family. I'm happy…
And days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Or am I? I should be, but then I think about what I had done to them, and everything falls apart. I start to feel like I'm alone.
Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by,
Headlights, taillights,
Running through a river of neon signs.
Mmm-hmmm...
But somewhere in the rush I felt,
We're losing ourselves...
Then Beast Boy talks to me and tells me I'm alright. He tells me to stop dwelling on the past and start thinking about the future. Our future.
And days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now,
And days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Yeah, the days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo!
I've been here for two months. Everything is falling into place. The others have warmed up to me and now they treat me as if I've always been part of the team. Well, Raven doesn't, but then again I don't expect her to.
We think about tomorrow then it slips away.
Oh, yes, it does.
We talk about forever but we've only got today...
I now tell Beast Boy everything about my past. I just realized that I know so much about him, but he knows little about me. It's nice to have someone to talk to. It eases the suffering, I guess.
And the days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window as the cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin',
You better start livin',
Better start livin' right now!
I've started to get this feeling that I should do everything at top speed; that I should live my life now instead of later. I don't know why, but I'm nervous. I haven't told this to Beast Boy, I don't want him to worry…..worry about what?
'Cause days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now...
'Cause days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Yeah, these days go by...
Oh and a woo-hooo!
My life has taken many strange and unexpected turns. I ran away from home, to meet other teens gifted with tremendous power. I soon ran away from them, too. I served Slade, and I almost killed my friends. Then I ran away from Slade. I seem to be always running. I was always told that running doesn't solve your problems, but what if it's the only thing you can do?
So take 'em by the hand,
They're yours and mine.
Take 'em by the hand,
And live your life.
Take 'em by the hand,
Don't let 'em all fly by!
In the world, there are no really evil people. There are bad people who do good things, and good people who do bad things. But the question is which one are you? Which one am I?
Come on, Come on now...
Yeah!
Come on now!
Oh and a woo-hooo!
Don't you know the days go by...
Are powers a gift or a curse? I believe they are both. It doesn't just apply to me. The other Titans too, are both gifted yet cursed. But it's not what you think powers are, it's what you use them for.
Yah, it's weird. I didn't mean to put 2 chapters on the same day, but oh well. This chapter overall is pretty pointless, but there is something hidden in there that may be important in a later chapter (hint hint). Sayonara!
