She was only 14, Things she knew and felt and did not say. The mum was carried away. By a man not her own, who stubbornly stayed in the zone. The father who said nothing most times, he looked away, sometimes he screamed, other times he watched with an amused face. She watched mum and dad and kept it all in. She liked the other man and was fond of him. The passive energy at home, she needed an escape. Along came a frog, dressed like a prince and whisked her away. He treated her like a princess and she found faith. Almost like her parents who worshipped her once. What she did not realise was that she was swept away and becoming weaker than strong. 4 years of her life she gave him with the parents playing their drama in the background. Mum liked her out of the way and was impressed with the pseudo prince who reminded her of the man she couldn’t have. It took 2 more years for her to walk away while she watched the prince turn into the frog he was. 6 years of her foundation she lost, but she never realised it. 6 years of what he did to her while she lost trust. She got up, brushed off the dust and began where it all left off. Did she really escape? Nope that is really where the unraveling began…

What she hides
