empty and closed, hovering in some frozen netherworld neither sun nor rain could thaw.

Image
No way to get away. No way to get away. Little change to sneak away... insanity.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
The truth is, I've always been afraid of letting anyone get too close. I built a wall around me, a barricade to hide behind those few times someone wanted entry to my heart.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future-you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get nice house.

The Screaming flashed me back to a time when mom and dad were still together if you could call miles apart together.

Clear. Cold. Empty. Like how I feel right now. Love is strange. One minute you’re jungle fever. The next you’re Artic winter.
Ellen Hopkins
