A Glimpse Into My Life (Let Go and Let God)

Chapter 1

Growing up in Africa is hard, especially when you grew up in a dysfunctional home with a dysfunctional family.

When I was little, I thought it would change, I thought things would get better but growing up only made it worst.

Those gruesome images plunged into my mind as I grew older. Those will be my worst memories until I die.
And I tried so hard to forget but the universe kept me at my worst.

It was a very hot afternoon, the sun shoned at it's best. It was already 3'o clock pm. In Africa, the radiation of the sun is very high and if you put a wet cloth outside, it'll dry in less than 10 minutes.

I laid on the couch in the livingroom, listening to one of Nicki Minaj's old song. She is my best musician, so is Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Taylor swift and so many more.

It was 'Fly', I was listening to at the moment, it featured Rihanna who is also one of my faves. The music was at 30, I had to reduced the volume so I could be able to hear just in case anyone calls.

There I was, humming alongside the song. I knew every bit of every words in this song, I could even rap A capella.
This is usually what I do when I have nothing doing.

Slurred voices came from inside, this caught my attention right away. I thought it was my siblings causing a commotion. You already know siblings rivalry.

I took one of  the earpiece out to listen and it was my Mom and step Dad at it again.
It's actually getting worst by the day. Her anger has no limits now.

It just reminded me of everything all over again. Back in 08 when she and my dad would get at it.

That memory just came right back when he almost killed her. I couldn't do anything and now I can't even do anything.

I remembered exactly every bit of everything that went on. I pretended to be asleep that night. It was just a one room but I wasn't asleep.
My mom cried and begged for her life, her voice still echoes in my ears.

I remembered it like it happened few minutes ago. That moment will never fade from my memory not anytime soon.
