Mom what is next? I want to grow and be just like you. To have a relationship like you and dad do.
Mom what is wrong? Why are you crying? Why aren’t there any songs. Where are the lullybies and where are the hugs?  Why is dad yelling? Why are we running?
Mom something is wrong. I feel funny and something isn’t right. What does this mean? I didn’t want to start a fight. I am so sorry. I must have done something bad.
Mom mom help I don’t know what to do. Little sister is sick and dad only cares about sue. There are hand marks on little brother and the other wont leave his room. Mom I am scared and they need me but not as much as I need you.
Mom they don’t believe me. They think I am too young but I don’t want to go dad is too scary. He told me if I said a word and he flashed me his gun.
Nothing seems right and that’s how it starts but it will never end will it? I started life with a broken heart and shattered glass piercing my skin. They tell you to talk to someone but if I do it’s a sin.
