GET OVER THE BUMP IN THE ROAD


The same story the father leaves.

The same story o the bird and the bees.

It's  not t  sory wen a littl girl say own.

"my father abused my mother so she would have misscarrige"

"it was me in there"

"daddy did you kow? daddy did you know i waited for you?

"just to come back."

The same story the father leaves befrei was born.

He wanted abortion.

My mami said no

He wanted hrto hav a misscariage

so he abused her.

Didnt work.

16 years later

He seemed drunk and mad

Told her

" you wont be anything"

"you will just end up like me"

"doing drugs and drinking"

"you wont achieve anything"

"you are going to be a failure"

She left and never came back.

 Three years later

she got two jobs.

GOT ACCEPTED TO

 THE BEST COLLEGE

and who said she will be a faliure???
