Soulmates

Backstory

Sleeping at night is rare. The constant sound of deafening, meaning-less rap music playing every single night, the scent of alcohol and cigarettes being used almost by every apartment room is putrid. The sound of immature arguing coming from our next door neighbor ,Sherry and her drunkard of a boyfriend John, then the sound of nasty , destructive sex..
dramatic sounds of them crashing into the walls of their room ,as well as Sherry's high pitched , annoying moans loud enough to be heard in the city . The constant tossing and turning from my five year old , Sophia on our brick like ,old mattress, she was uncomfortable, I don't blame her I would be too if I had to live like this.This cycle of not sleeping and going to a job that doesn't even pay much is tiring and infuriating , we don't deserve this life , well at least Sophia doesn't , she is just an innocent kid being raised by her dumb, useless mother who she had sex with a disgusting,successful business man for a father who couldn't care less about his daughter, that's probably because he doesn't know he has a daughter. He was someone that didn't believe in woman's rights, he believes that women are slaves and belong in the kitchen , especially women of colour, his family's generations before him were all slave owners, that is what I assumed because of my skin colour, I was treated as though I had no worth when I was living with him , I am black so there was a lot of times the n word was mistaken for my name.The money I get paid from my job , is what is used to pay for Sophia, I don't get personal use from the money ,because my daughter has a condition, she was born pre-matured and is under the weight limit for a five year old kid, she has to use a wheel chair to move around . Her legs are skinny and fragile, she could easily break a leg or both that's why the doctor suggested that she use wheel chair. From the violation of my body to the physical abuse , it is a miracle that Sophia was actually born.
