Life is a Desert

Everything in the world is a challenge. Right now mine is either following my heart to be happy, or staying were I'm at and get to do things that I have never been able to do before. My whole world has been a desert filled in quick sand. One wrong move and I'm sinking, or I'm walking and only the snakes are my company, which is the worst kind.  I am in that desert now, worn out, without water to bring me back to life. My heart feels like the hot hot sun burning my flesh. Some one once told me that being a teenager is the easiest part of life. I right now have to disagree. I don't want to disappoint my mother but I want to stick by my best friend and lover, for I have known him much longer. I have also come to realize that people are not who they seem. They lie when a lie is not needed and say some of the cruelest things. If I stay here I feel as If I will be in this desert for a much longer time and the only water I will see is the hellions in my head and the tears that pour from my eyes. I will be walking and fall in the quicksand agian and agian, till I reach the ocean or I will fall in and I wont be able to get out. Im waiting for the rain to pour and bring me back to life.
