Analogy Writing

High school is like the Saw movies. You wake up one day and you have no idea where you are or who you are with. The teachers at school try to make it seem like a game, but inside your heart is racing because you know the choices you make now will determine the path of your life in the future. I don't want to play a game. You look around and see people who rush out and try to get a head start. They leave everyone behind and they never last long. You see the leaders trying to organize a group to work together. You see the people who search every nook and cranny of space to gain all the knowledge they can. You have to choose the people you want to be with. Do you work alone? Are you going to be deceived by the people you choose? You walk the halls looking, searching, investigating all you dare to do. A room or two may catch your interest, but all you are really worried about is getting out. I'm scared. I don't understand where the next step will lead. No one can tell me the steps to take to be saved. Frustration  hits you over and over. You get hints and clues, but no one will ever give you a straight, flat out answer on how to survive. I suppose you don't get simple answers to complex questions, but I want one. I don't want to learn one fact at a time. I want it all, I want everything I need so I can go. I want to walk with confidence out the doors because I've got all the knowledge I could ever need. Maybe I won't walk. Maybe I will run, screaming, not for fear or sadness, but for joy and excitement. I survived. I never knew the next step until I made it. It might have been wrong and it might have been right. There is no planning ahead or looking back. I could not rush nor go too slowly and cautiously. Where would other paths have lead? Who had i lead and who had I been lead by? Survival mode among humans is the most basic and vital mode that we humans as a unified species have, but why is it still that some don't make it? I made it through the puzzle. It was never a game. It was scary and seemingly impossible sometimes. I did it though. I'm not in this little game anymore. I am finally going to run screaming out those doors and into my new view on life.
