When she left
When she left it happend a couple of times not just one time.
I used to believe she did it because she loved me and she would come back.
then one day she left for the final time.
I didn't believe it, I thought and would still believe she was coming back.
I waited but she never showed, and as time passed.
I began to take responsibilty for the things she wasn't taking care of.
I would wear the same clothes and would barely speak to others in school
I was blind sided by it
Then one day DSS came knocking on my door and took me away
I always would hold on to the past and I thought that if I went back she would be there
I still remember the day when my older sister got her shit together and left to go move to Florida and go to college
I believe that that day must have been the best day of her life
I am seventeen years old now
I have come to the relization that the negative things I have held onto in the past belong where they are.
Now I find myself in a committed relationship, where I know I would never hurt him.
I am now recovering from all the pain.
I took my SAT's
and everday I am always doing my part to go to school and be a 2016 graduate of BrentWood Highschool.
I plan on going to college, me being the first one in my family to go.
and the rest is unwritten.
