🎶If I share my secret with you,
promise you'll keep it safe?
Hope my Heart with you is also safe?
You promise never to leave, don't you?
Be there for me will you?
Hey my candy man
I be under your arm
Hold me tight
Close to sight......🎶

"Arrrrh!!!! Lame lame lame!" I felt disgusted by the rhyme I'm tryna make. I sound stupid desperate. I just want to write music and sing it too.
Dad says I have no future with music, but who's he to decide my future?! I'm gonna prove him real wrong!

KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!

And who might that be to disturb my inner peace? "Yes?"

My door swung opened, introducing some feets first, on a black faux suede four inches heeled mule; also a black body suit top and a tan godet skirt. Sara! I immediately looked away. No way she gonna see me looking at her.

"The dishes ain't gonna do them selves young lady". I felt her eyes looking at me in disdain. What do I care? I do whatever I like, whenever I want! Do I?

I wasn't in the mood to exchange words with this woman this moment. I'm tryna think! Yet I still wanted to annoy her the more.

"You deaf or what?" I could sense the anger and frustration in her tone. I'm so loving this!
"I gonna have to confiscate your gadgets".

Just as I know how to irritate Sara, she also knows the button to drive me nuts.

Confiscate my gadgets? Really? Does she know I'm holding to hit her right at her jaw?

"You can't do that! Dad won't let you!" I said tryna defend.

Although I was standing and looking right back at her, I made no effort to leave.

"Shall we try?" She put up this evil grin and left. Did she?

Stood by the door to have a last laugh, "I'm the wife. Never forget that." She fucking got the laugh.

Sara has been married to dad for five years, and I still refuse to see her as mom - not even step mom. She's all bad news!
Dad stopped paying attention to me cos of her. I got hurt real bad, like that shit hurt me bad. I existed to be criticized the moment Sara got here.
I'm fine with it! Already used to being a loner, only makes me miss mom more. So I decided to make music. I enjoy singing, I mean I have a good voice. I wasn't just the music writing type - yet I wanna try...

Time to do the dishes, I can't live here without my gadgets.

Two weeks later, Tina gave me a cool visit. Needed some different kind of energy round this shelter. I thought I was almost going insane! Being here ALONE is a different kind of the surviving here.
