There was a little girl. She cried for her mother, prayed for her sister and lived for her father.
Her father trying to pay bills, her mother close to dying, her sister in jail and herself crying.
What would she do?
Who would she cry to?
She found herself curled up in the corner like a little ball,
Not everyone understood her, only one in all.
She found her hope dying.
She found herself crying
She found herself lying.
And pretending it was alright.
But only he knew, what was inside

The little girl was running from her dreaded tears that reached it's hands out to try to get her. Her mother looked like a sweet angel laid on the hospital bed. The little girl couldn't bear it anymore. Her father, her mother, her sister all looked up at her as the perfect child wo would do everything for them and help them every single second. She didn't mind it at first, she could do a job, that sentence soon turned into 'She could do five jobs' but the truth was that she couldn't.
She loved them all and felt horrible for doing what she was going to do, but she knew it was right, for her, for them. She was going to leave her precious family. She had helped them for long enough.
Right then, she stood outside of the small house and swore that one day, she would come back to help her family. Once she was nineteen she vowed that she would pay off all the bills, checks, loans and everything!
She took one look at her necklace, asking him if it was right or wrong. He gave a nod.
And so then and there, her journey began...

"Oh dear! You look drenched! Come in and tell me why your out alone in the rain?" The kind woman smiled at her with a warm look. The little girl nodded her head and walked in. The woman's husband was horrified to see a filthy street beggar in their sheek and polished house.
"I told you to not let in beggars like this!" The man hissed in his suit. The woman came over to him and took him to a room. The little girl stared at the house, noticing how much better it was from living.
She was Esmerelda Grimald, a fourteen year old girl living in Washington.
She waited for a minute before bursting into tears . . .
