Anywhere But Here

Today was just one of those days.  One of those days I could have spent with tears streaming down my face, losing my mind. 

"Please take me anywhere but here."

She swallowed down the feeling held up inside of her, and she shook her head as she turned away.  I won't go back to that, not to that pain.  Tears began prickling behind her eyes, but she was determined not to let them go.  She wished she could run, just run away from all the voices screaming inside of her.  Run until it hurt.  But the thing is, she was still sitting there in class, sitting while her student teacher droned on.  Still sitting in front of his smile.

She cursed herself as the voices and faces blurred together, forming a place she did not belong.
