It Occurs

'What use is it? What use is anything?'

Your hands tremble as the freshly drawn blood dribbles along the skin of your hand to drip softly onto the stained carpet below you.

'No, nothing's wrong. It's just grape juice, mum, honestly.'

Lies. All lies. Sunday school had always taught you that lying is wrong. Ha. That's one commandment that will forever be broken.

'School. Family. Life. It's all so difficult.'

Your friends... friend was always there for you when you were upset, scared, nervous or all of the above. Aside from those times when your friend wasn't there, and you did feel upset, scared, nervous, angry. And you were alone. Simply alone. Because fights occur quite regularly when certain things are there to trigger them.

Because life occurs when you're in it.
