Still In My Heart~

Time of 3 am, it was dark everywhere she lying on her bed observing the surroundings. Even the slightest tick of the clock increased her frustration, all she wanted was stillness. she sat down after making sure that nobody was awaken, exhausted from lying on the bed, she sat and turned her face towards the wall beside her bed and started yelling quietly. her brain was bursting with memories, and her hands were shivering from fear, the fear of losing someone who was never hers, she kept searching for a shoulder to cry on, and then suddenly her shadow friend appeared which was not visiting her from two days.

I have to attend the last class which is up to 3:30 pm, but I am so tired that I am not able to attend that class with concentration to adopt that lecture. Sincerely speaking my heart is now just thinking about the ending time of class when I will finally go the home and eat lunch and then have a proper sleep.  That was my first blog when the first time I learned that AAP is now almost after a year. That was just my random writing, which I had done just for fun. But I would write to explain my topic name that is correct that there is always a way we just need to search it explore it nothing will happen or change without hard work. There are problems in the life of every individual but only those who try to solve them will only come out the oppositely you have to learn to live with them but teasing your self that why all the tim
