I grew up this way I am very deprived, as I watch adults argue about what car to drive. They curse because I am in their way, they ignore me when I tell them that I had a bad day. I watch cartoon network late at night, I also see daddy walk in staggering like he has no sight. Him and mom fight all the time, he beats her repeatedly as if she committed some sort of a crime. In the summer when I have no school, my dads friends come in the house smoking weed and say "Hey look this is cool!" When my dad is out of town I wake up to noises in the night. I go to moms room she throws a pillow at me and screams "Go to bed everythings alright!"
Even though I am small and people think I can't comprehend. I act like that on purpose because I like to pretend, that I'm far, far away from everything I go through "I wish I was out of this cage!" Questions pop up "Why did mom and dad had to have me at such a young age? They don't show or ever say that they love me, and when I fall down they don't even hug me! Why did they put me through soo much stress? Why has my life been such a mess?" 18 years have gone, my parents never seen the light. I never learned anything positive that's why I'm living at this jail site.
