Miles Behind Me
~Miles Behind Me A poem by: Effie Blackwell Teacher: Mr. Evans I wish to be far away, where no one can find me. I want to be lost somewhere at sea. I wish to be somewhere, where I'll be free. Somewhere my parents will never be. I want to be able to run freely, and play with any toy. I want to be able to smile, and feel true joy. I don't want to be scared, scared to die. I want to feel safe, and not cry. I want to go away, far away. Where my house will be, miles behind me.~ This is a story about a young girl named Effie, trying to get away from her home. But when her wish to go far away comes true, it's not exactly as she planned, and she's on an adventure she never thought she'd be on. (Warning: Contains violence.)…
