I've been heart broken, not by a man, or a boy, but by my family. They
torn me apart. I've lost all my hopes, and my smile is lost. They are
everything to me but there are times when they just don't understand
what really is going on in a child's mind. You see the thing is that my
father cheated on my mother, at first I thought everybody was lying to
me. Denying the truth for a while until realization hit me right in the
face. That's when I grew up from being a child and being adult. I don't
involve myself in anymore childish play or school activities no more
because I'm home comforting my mother. She was in her "denial" stage
through out the case. I couldn't even imagine how I even got through my
life so far. Everything happen so sudden. I tried turning things around
but I knew I couldn't all I could do is protect my mother from my
father's wrath. It hurted me to see my family in pain. Especially my
mother, my family and love ones are my treasure with them I'm alive and
going. But seeing them in pain, I couldn't bear to think about myself.
The consequences I would suffer if I let go of everything. I couldn't
run away. Stuck in between with no where to go other then stay there
looking at what goes around in my family. At that time, I was still in
school, so my grades started falling. I started skipping school to help
my mother out in her "denial" stage but I knew....I couldn't. I had to
get my act together once again. I did and made it through the school
year with a 3.3 GPA and passing all my classes with A's B's and C's.
But now all is over. The only thing amiss, is.........me.
