I never started off as a "normal" kid

ever since the very begining

for starters I was born early

was fatherless,

had to get spectacles before

I was even two

and still have them

I did not develop language until

the age of four

people belived that I was hopeless

having speech classes were not so fun

being categorized as "special"

either

it is a "disability" they say

there is nothing to be done

"she can not do anything"

is all they say

leaving me with low-self esteem

 and very self couscious

on everything that I do

I was always bullied

by the way I looked

had few close friends

that I know since childhood

in which I still talk to

suddenly my body  

started to become slender and curvy

a phase in whcih leads me to womanhood

going to a school between Elementary and High School

I met new friends and lost a few

but a few in particular

had changed my life

they helped me open up

being able to smile once in a while

right when things were going fine

my "fatherly figure" was gone

I felt so alone

I secretly shed tears when I get the chance

and the next day

it looks as if nothing had happened

and it starts over again

those people that had helped me to open,

the group of four,

going to a new place had soon became five

and then six

and I still smiled, laugh, and even joked around

without any worry

sure things had happened

that I wish I didn't

but I can not do anything about it

throughout time

I have learned to keep my

chin up high

a lot of things had occurred that

I shall write them

in a different

time and separately

now as much as I hate to admit

I am growing up

and it is unbelieable how time flies

I still can not do some things

but it is okay

I have always been called that

I finally found something I can do

and I am pretty good at it too

and with that talent

is how I told you this tale
