"I stood crying against the wall. Mommy was acting weird again and it was scaring me. This is how she acts when she drinks the bad stuff she calls beer. I just want to run and get away before she sees me again and yells. She said she was going to make me cookies and that we would go to the park to swing on the swings. I was so happy thinking about how much fun we would have.
Mommy had been mad ever since her friend called. She told me we were not going to the park today because she was feeling sad and needed a drink.
"You would not have had fun at the park, Maya, anyway." But I knew I would, especially because I loved the swings at school. My tummy hurts so bad, and I'm so hungry.
Then she screamed out my name: "Maya!"
I jumped and quickly wiped the tears away. If she saw me crying she would just get mad at me again. I walked up to her very slowly.
She was sitting at the kitchen table with her face in her hands. "Y-yes Mommy?"
"She looked up at me and frowned. I know who she is thinking of when she looks at me that way. She tells me all the time I have his eyes.
Mommy has pretty dark brown hair. My hair is much lighter than mommy's.Mommy never tells me I am pretty, she just tells me I look like my daddy."
"She hates my daddy.
"Maya,Maya,Maya" She said.
"Do you know that you will never be wanted? No one will ever love you, just like I have never been loved. No man will ever really want you. You need to know that now. I wish someone would have told me that; fuck, it would have saved me a lot of pain"
"Mommy was still talking funny. Did she not want me anymore?
"Mommy, I'm sorry for whatever I did. Please don't be mad at me. Please want me mommy!" I cried out. She just started to laugh and then she put her head back in her hands and told me to get out of her sight. I had a funny feeling in my chest and my tummy. Why was it so hard for me to breathe? I walked over to the corner in the kitchen and sat down.
"You will never be wanted by anyone...remember that Maya darlin', remember that."
