September 20 1985

Today was my 17th birthday. I’m scared. Any day now they will come and take me away. Away from my home, my family, my friends. Forvever. They will make me leave. I can’t refuse. If i do they will kill me. So at 17 years old they just you away. 17 years old! Why? I’m still a child im still young. I’m not ready. Not at all.

Another restless day. I don’t know what to do. My parents know of my fate and what’s to come. They know i will never return. They’re scared for me. I’m scared for me. I…can’t do it
