My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test‚ but I procrastinated‚ so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone‚ I noticed that day was withering away‚ as it was becoming more and more deep into the night‚ with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky.

felt as if I was about to explode. My walking pace slowly started to increase to a jog then to a run. My mind slowly starting to become clear blank slate and I ran without any destination. Since I haven’t been jogging regularly at that time my body was exhausted‚ screaming for me to stop. However‚ my mind kept pushing my body to keep running letting me forget about all the pain.

My father’s second home was a prison cell‚ and my mother’s first love was drugs. This
