I speed down the street to get onto the freeway. I turn the radio to 103.1 and sing along to James Brown (I Got It) I Feel Good as I slow down to get off of at the exit. I stop at a gas station before driving two more blocks to my street, my stomach starts to hurt when I see Joseph's car in the driveway.
"SHIT!" I yell as I bang my hand against my steering wheel while I pull up next to his car. I grab my bag and walk up to the front door, I unlock the door and slowly walk inside I stop at an halt when I see Joseph sitting in his chair.
"Go start my dinner boy, I'm hungry" he says not looking at me
"Yes Joseph" I walk into the kitchen and grab Mothers apron, I miss her so much. She left out of town with the girls and never came back home. I tried to ask Joseph where she went, but all he does is beat me for asking too many questions, I've learned to stop asking. I start to season the chicken and put the rice in the boiling water. It takes about 25 minutes to finish cooking, while I'm putting the rice into a bowl Joseph comes up behind me and puts his hands on my hips. My eyes grow wide and my breath gets stuck in my throat.
"Mmmmm, boy that sure smells good, is it done yet?" he says while sniffing the back of my neck and grabbing a hand full of my ass
"Y-yes Joseph it's done" I say removing myself from his grasp and backing away
"WHERE YOU GOIN BOY!!" Joseph says in a drunken slur
" T-to my room Joseph" I say looking down going back to that scared little boy I used to be. I hate it when Joseph is drunk, that's when bad things happen that I don't like to think about. Joseph notices me looking down and slams me against the wall hard, knocking the wind out of me.
" YOU LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU SPEAK BOY!" Joseph says in a angry tone picking me up from the wall and slamming me against it again
"YOU'RE DRUNK JOSEPH! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yell getting angry
" YOU WANNA GET MAD, YOU WANNA FIGHT ME BOY!" Joseph says as he knees me in my stomach, I fall to the ground and raise my arms to cover my face as he repeatedly kicks me
" STOP!! JOSEPH, I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT!!!" I yell fighting back tears. Joseph finally stops kicking me, he turns around to sit in his chair and falls asleep. After laying on the ground that felt like internity, I get up from the ground slowly holding my stomach. I limp up the stairs to my room and lock the door behind me, I sit at my desk and start to write some lyrics on a piece of paper.
YESTERDAY IS WHEN I FELT DOWN I START TO TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT I WAS AROUND Y'KNOW LIFE IS JUST A THING YOU DON'T PASS THE WAY I DO BECAUSE I WANT TO BE FREE, FREE LIKE THE WIND BLOW TO FLY AWAY JUST LIKE A SPARROW TO FEEL LETTING MY HAIR BLOW TO TAKE MY TIME WHEREVER I GO I WANT TO BE
I quietly sing to myself over and over again while tears flow down my face until I fall asleep at my desk.
