I was born on april 30th 2008, my full name is Melinda Polveres.. i remember hospitals.. doctors... the smell of a rotting corpse.. my parents neglected me and i grew up depending on everyone as i grew older i never fully understood what was wrong with me. other children with their parents seem happy, sad, angry, laughing. my dad neglected me because of the way i looked, my mother looked desperate.. but i think i knew deep down in my heart she was only trying to leave me. at school kids would bully me and mistreat me because of the way i smelled and looked, maybe if i didn't look the way i did back then i wouldn't be judged. i wanted a normal family who wouldn't neglect me neither be ignorant. "that's not true melinda" who said that..? "melinda..." who's there.. please dont hurt me again.. "i said get UP". in scared, i don't know what to do..

"M-melinda wake up your going to school remember..?"
"okay mama!"
i felt scared and i smelt really bad although i had to go i was going to be late.. who cares i wouldn't be able to make friends over there anyways right?

i took the school bus there, water splashing at me while the other kids laugh.. no one cared for me or anything, others recording me as i'm just sitting there.. serious and silent the whole ride to school. i'm walking to the nurses office to get new clothes as i'm getting off the bus, "Melinda why are you wet again? is it the same situation?" "yes , im sorry i bother you everyda-" i get cut off as she hugs me and helps me dry up. "there's a shower here so if you ever need to take one i will be sure to bring you here so you can shower and stay healthy and clean!" i appreciated her hospitality and i leave the nurses office.
