      It wasn't fair that I had to struggle with everything.At home, there were expectations I couldn't live up to.Stuff  I couldn't say. Things that happened in dark rooms, in bright light, in the kitchen, my bedroom, everywhere.The cold was there, and it was seeping from places I refused to see.Or maybe it was my parents who blinded me.I don't know who did anyway.

      At school, they whispered.They shouted.They screamed. They became so loud that I just couldn't take it anymore.What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I just be the right friend? The right daughter? Why couldn't I do the right thing?Everyone knows that no matter what, its always my fucking fault. And I don't understand why.

There was no safe place to run to.No safe person to hold. Everyone was too busy throwing knives at me to listen to my pleas. Too busy telling me what to do, to notice that I needed help.

Why wasn't anyone there for me?
