Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care...
SIKE! My life was always bad.
From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked:
'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts.
'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do.
'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward.
'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household.
Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some.
'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do.
'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always.
'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes.
