I somehow always believed that everything would run its course smoothly and that I would have little to no worries in growing up. After all I was a little toddler unaware of a world that had its hidden secrets and surprises waiting in store for me. I thought I would be given everything by those who loved and cared for me. I held on to the belief that I was one of the lucky ones that had everything I ever needed when I was just starting to take my first steps.
Hey I mean a child can dream can't he?
After all who is to know that there would be obstacles halting this journey and that the ride would have its bumps and turns? I sure as hell didn't but I suppose there's always that day that comes. That mesmerising day that really opens your eyes to reality. Mines came sooner then I hoped. I was at the age of 9/10, my maturity had blossomed quite quickly and I had stumbled across a chest that held many truths and secrets that were kept away from me for quite some time. My mother must have hid it from me afraid I wouldn't be able to understand the harsh reality at such a young age.
Well what better time to open it now? For all I know I must have thought there were goodies and treats laying in store for me to indulge on.
This would turn out to be a foolish mistake I made yet it would expose a life that had been buried away with the real truth and not the one I falsely continued to live each day.
