i was raised between two thunder storms and when i was trying to find shelter nobody was there to offer help,i cried every night for seventeen years,until i ran away.just like that i toke off without money and with out a plan,i couldn't live in that house any longer
i slept in the streets for three months,and nobody cared.i was one of those hopeless people you see on the streets.i faced sick and disturbing people,until this young girl came up to me one day "Hi im Mary i dont have money to give you but i do have this please take it,it will help you when you are scared" she said while handing me a notebook and a pen,thats when everything great started in my life.
i felt powerful,i had the ability to make everything possible.honest feelings they do have a meaning and thats what i had,i started to use advantage of everything,i wrote about everything i experienced the lonely nights they were the worst.i never noticed the importance of some little things,the notebook was my escape plan from the reality.
"you have something that matters,you have the power of words.contact this number please"he said before handing me a card.my mind just stopped thinking . i've been living in the streets not knowing when to eat and what to eat,i had everything and i lost it in a second.its crazy how your life can change in that golden hour,everything changed because of two parents who hated each other who wanted to live there lives without even noticing that there was a third life connected with there problems.i called the number and my life changed after that.
one year later and thats when i became known,an author, producers wanted to make a movie about my life,and thats when the people cared,hashtags started trending.campaigns started working on helping the homeless who i was once like them.
my book was a success,and that happened because of me,because of my ability to play with the worlds feelings.and all i needed was a card to push me forward.
Interview after interview,people finally knew me,i tried to find the girl who offered all this Mary,she will never be forgotten.i became rich and important and happy because of a notebook and a pen.
simple things can change lives,now i know everything happens for a reason.i ran away but a notebook and a pen saved me.i have a house,i do photo shoots,i own my own car and im building shelters for the people who need it and yet something is missing.
"i really want to see them again,i want them to know that they caused the pain,the tears and the fear and the nightmares.its like they never noticed me sometimes i feel like my mother just gave birth to me and just simply forget,my mother uhh you know what?you cant call that monster a mother she never was and she never will be.i cant really forget what i went through but im grateful because living in the streets not knowing what will happen next made me who im now"
im still holding a grudge on them,some people go through more than that and thats so unfair but thats just life we cant really control it.appreciate what you have,because you dont really know if its going to last.
