Can you hear my dreams?

advertisement

I have dreams. You know the kind. An education. Kids. A family. Health. A roof. Freedom. The simple life.

To some these dreams may seem simple, a little too simple. No mention of fame, wealth or popularity. Dreams, they are funny kinda things. The one thing that no one can take away from you. No matter what happens no one will ever have my dreams.

Dreams. Its funny, I sit here alone, I can almost taste the stale air. In fact, its the only thing I can taste. Well, thats worth tasting anyway. As long as I don't have to taste him. His clean, yet rancid lips. Waiting, expecting. I wonder what his wife would say. And his kids. Its been a while though, I've kinda gotten used to it. Its routine. Its the sex that gets me. The rape.

I've been in this place for what seems like an eternity. How long exactly? Your guess is as good as mines. All I care about is when the next meal will be. When he will be back round.

Dreams. A sort of hope. A self made agenda. I've always wondered if I am missed. Are people looking for me? Do people even remember me? I think of the day when the power and passion of hope will break down these four walls. I can finally use my voice again. Tell people to hold onto their dreams. Girls my age probably don't care much for dreams.

Hope. Its all I have left. That and my dreams. I'll be out of here one day and when I get out I'll ask why. Why did no one come and save me from this hell? Why did no one lock him up? Are there more people like me? Does he do it to them too? I feel sick.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

This is my lame attempt a writing. Apologies. Its supposed to e about a girl locked up, a prisoner of conscience. Its about human rights abuse.

Don't slaughter me, I'm new to all this. :)

It ain't about the writing quality, its about the subject.

Thanks for reading.

Wow-Actually it's good writing. Hooked me right away and had to stop and re-read. Interesting start.
