His invitation lingers. So does my question. Why me? I don't know the answer. When I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is a starving, stunted bird who never grew wings and lost all reason to sing.

More quotes by Julie Anne Peters
Like anyone cared where I was, or who I was.
Julie Anne Peters
I think about my choice. Either outcome is bleak. If I stay and live through high school, go to college, get a job, what will ever change? This blackness inside will never go away. I don't make friends I'll always be alone. If I go, at least there's hope of peace. Chance of a new and better life on the other side.
Julie Anne Peters
It was all about hate. There should be laws. We're there laws? Can you legislate against hatred?
Julie Anne Peters
Our eyes met across the crowded room, like in the movies, except we didn't share a knowing smile and race into each other's arms. Instead I fell into the trash can.
Julie Anne Peters
Who becomes you? No one. No one should become me. When I die, I don't want my body or soul inhabited. I wouldn't wish me on anyone.
Julie Anne Peters
I don't have alot of people to talk to. Not alot of people are worth my time.
Julie Anne Peters
I know it's hard on her. If I don't tell her she'll kill me. He pauses. That was supposed to be funny.
Julie Anne Peters
Why are people so cruel? What did I ever do to them?
Julie Anne Peters
Yet, when we talked, when we were together, she seemed so familiar. Seemed to know who I was, where I was coming from. She knew me better than I knew myself, I think. She was easy to be with. And I wanted to be with her, like all the time.
Julie Anne Peters
She responds by kissing me harder and longer and deeper. She loves me too. She's just afraid.
Julie Anne Peters
The sad truth is, they should never trust me.
Julie Anne Peters
I'm scared. What will tomorrow bring? It has to be better than today. It has to.
Julie Anne Peters
I had to fight so hard not to cry.
Julie Anne Peters
What will I become? Because I won't be me any longer. That will be a relief. I dont want to be the helpless person I've always been.
Julie Anne Peters
You still have, I looked at my watch, twelve seconds to change your mind. Find someone else and save your reputation. One side of his lip cricked up. I found you. I'll take my chances.
Julie Anne Peters
The truth remains. I was, and am, disgusted with myself.
Julie Anne Peters
His eyes are like a telescope. I look into them and I'm transported across the universe to a world I've never been.
Julie Anne Peters
...When I asked [my dad why the sky was blue] he said it was because God's a boy. If God were a girl, the sky would be pink. 'What about sunrise and sunset?' I'd asked. Dad had looked dumbfounded. 'You kids. You think too much.' It frightened me how shallow the gene pool was that Liam and I were wading in.
Julie Anne Peters
That same piercing screech in her voice every time at the hospital. Do something! When I slit my wrists. Help her! The last time too. Somebody help her. Help us! You're helpless, both of you. All of us.
Julie Anne Peters
I suppose I'll be remembered as dull. Timid. No one ever knew me. People came. They went. I was kind, I think. Not sympathetic, but considerate of others. I always gave up my place in line. I loaned out pencils and paper, or let people take them from me. I never reported a sexual assault.
