Raiden Bison D5 {done}

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

Everyone's life starts with an adventure. Mine was an adventure. Mine is an adventure. Mine will always be an adventure. Around every corner lurking in the shadows is another adventure waiting to be explored. Who would have thought so many adventures existed in life? I know many adventures exist because I'm always taking them. Every chance I get I'm taking that next adventure. Life is just a giant story book waiting to be written by the individuals in the world. I am writing my story about all the adventures I travel. I travel them all as I'm always taking the next great adventure of life. Who's ready to go on that adventure? I am! I am!

I love going on adventures. I always bring Benny, and Patty with me. People can't see them though because they are invisible friends. I can hear them talking, but I only respond with my thoughts. They accept me for who I am because all the others, with the exception of my family, doesn't want to be seen near me. At first it hurt really bad because I wanted to have friends to understand me, but I finally decided I don't need friends. I guess a lot has to do its the fact that I don't talk. I don't even know if I can talk because words have never flown from my tongue like it does for my brothers and sisters. I don't need to talk though because I never have a reason to express words. I can express my thoughts with written wishes, and my body language.

I love running around outside as the win flies through my shaggy, strawberry blonde hair. I love the filling of my almond shape, dark brown eyes being pushed back from the force of the wind. It's something that's always brought a smile to my face. I'm always hiding behind a smile living my life care free. Benny runs along beside me poking fun at my cheeks that's squished and burning red. My cheeks are laced with red freckles sitting perfectly noticeable on my pale face. Many people would think I would be tan because of how much I'm outside, but I don't tan. I usually end up turning redder and redder. Maybe one day my face will be so red the freckles will be hidden. That would be the day. That would be the best day ever.

I can always be seen running around the district looking for new places to explore. Every turn, every dark alley, every abandon building, every where I turn I find a new adventure ready for me to take. I dare not go alone though because I'll may end up lost and trapped forever; however that has yet to happen. Most of my family thinks I'm stupid because I'm always on adventures, and I invite them to go by writing down my wish, but I'm only joined by Benny and Patty. I go on adventures to live in a care free world like every child my age should. I want to hide the horrors of the games away from my mind, and if I journey far enough, I'm able to forget that I'm not actually living in the world I live in. It's my way to hide my fear as I live my life without a worry in the world.

I never worried much about the games until the games where Shadow was reaped. I didn't know much about him, but he was a Bison. He was my family, and I was force to watch him die. I watched that evil fool cut out his tongue. What kind of sick person would cut out a tongue for fun? He needed his tongue! I was helpless though because I was here, and he was there. I watched as he took the adventure I never want to take. I never want to be reaped into the games. I never want to be forced to walk in the nightmare of adventure he took. He's brave though. He's braver than I'll ever be even with my friends walking around me, I would never be able to fight as well as he did. He's a hero. He's a hero to all. As much as I enjoy going on adventures, I would much prefer to stay home with Benny and Patty going on adventures through the house. It's much safer, and death doesn't lurk around the corners.

I try to hide the pain from everyone because I'm supposed to be strong, and brave. I place a smile on my face when I'm around my family hoping that one day they'll understand that I'm okay. I don't want anyone to worry about me. I don't want them to bother me. I'm okay. I'm alive. I'm happy. I don't need anyone to tell me to cheer up because I'm brave. Life's adventures can end painfully. Shadow's adventure ended with death. He died, but he was brave. He's one of the bravest people I ever had the chance to see, and I hope one day I'll be as brave as him, but I'll never be as brave as him because I hope I never ever have to go through what he did, the nightmare adventure.

The next great adventure is the adventure of living life without a care in the world. One day I was running through the district with my arms spread wide soaring around the corners flying like a bird in the mighty sky. I was a bird that day. I climbed to new heights because I wanted to see the world from the point of view as a bird. I wanted to soar high in the sky, but it'll never happen. I jumped through the district pretending to fly. The wind blew through my hair as laughter escaped my lips. Benny was running along side of me carrying Patty around. "You are the best friends I could ever ask for. I'm glad you are my friends." Benny understands my words through my thoughts. It's how we've always communicated. Many people doesn't know that I have imaginary friends.

Benny and Patty don't bully me like many people have. People think because I excel in certain areas they can take my homework and copy it. I don't ever stand up for myself though. I let them take it because I don't want to stop them. Why should I try to stop people when it'll only make things worse? I just want everyone in the world to be happy. That's all I want. I absolutely love math. Math helps me to plan how to take my adventures. The world is different because it's made up of a bunch of numbers that describe everything. Buildings are made with numbers. They have to have the correct numbers for everything to fall into place. The wrong angle can mess the entire project up. The wrong number can be an adventure gone wrong. I have to plan properly for everything to work out.

Living in a large family allows me to go unnoticed a lot. I don't want to be noticed because I'm always asked to talk, but I don't talk. I don't even know if I can talk, but it doesn't matter. I love sitting around with everyone laughing at the jokes that's been cracked. I love asking people to go on adventures with me even if they say no. One day, I will get them to go on an adventure with me. I will get them to travel to the depths of the district to see what I see. I'll be able to have them soaring high in the sky like the mighty birds. (Birds are the most fascinating creations ever. I love how they can fly through the air with no problems at all. None whatsoever without a worry in the world.) I'm a bird. I can fly, and I'm always looking for that next great adventure. Will you join me?
