I am

I am 5 yrs old making memories of waves crashing over my head and wondering why does mommy cry so much

why is mommy mean

I am 10 yrs old with my bestfriend in the whole wide world and hoping my dad will be outside to pick me up from school

why is daddy gone

I am 15 yrs old waiting for my crush to ask me to homecoming and realizing I’ll be a better parent than mine were

why couldn’t they make me normal

I am 21 years old dealing with the trauma from a man who hurt me to hurt himself and mourning a daughter I never knew

why will no one love me

I am 23 years old knowing why mommy cry’s and was mean, why daddy never was outside and was gone, why I thought I’d be a better parent and wasn’t normal, why I was mourning a stranger and no one would love me.

I am
