My Name Is Chermeria I Know Many Can't Pronounce It Right So Just Call Me Shay . I Am Now 20 . Kinda Tall &.. Slim With A Big Booty Ok Its Kinda Big 😂 . Short Hair Cut With Tattoos . I Am Very Smart But Have A Little Of An Bad Attitude That I Am Working On. But Anyways .....

Living In The Hood Was A Real Struggle . When You Only Had Like Two Pairs Of Shoes Only Had Food Around Food stamp Time . House Always Getting Broking Into &.. Someone Always Getting Shot Or Killed . That Didn't Stop Me Though I Was A Child So I Didn't Pay Any Of That Any Mind Besides Being Outside With My Friends Always Playing . Waking Up At 5:30 In The Morning Getting Ready For School Having To Walk A Long Way . Only Because The Stupid Bus Didn't Take That Route. All Of My Friends And Even Other Kids Would Walk To School And A Fight Almost Every Morning Would Happen . Soon As The Police Would Come Every Kid Would Be Gone Running All The Way None Stop To The School Straight To The Cafeteria For Breakfast....

After School We Would Run Too The Candy Lady Buying So Much Candy Chips Drinks And The Best Frozen Cups . If We Didn't Have Money She Would Have Us Work For Whatever We Wanted . Many Would Steal From Her Why She Wasn't Looking . She Was A Real Old Lady Who Took Like Ten Minutes Just To Walk To The Door . No one Liked Her They All Thought She Was Mean Well I Didn't Though She We Very Nice To Me . She Would Give Me Extra When No one Was Looking . Shhhh I Really Wasn't Suppose To Tell You That . Let's Change The Subject On Her 😂😂 ....

Any Who No Lie I Use To Hate Going Home . To My Mother And Her Boyfriend Nope He Is Not My Step Dad So Dnt Even Think About Saying That But They Always Would Fight . I Could Not Stand Him I Know He Was Cheating On Her But She Always Would Get Mad When I Say It . The Days We Didn't Have Food I Would Fix Me A Bowl Of Noodles And Put Hot Sauce On It And Drink Me Some Sugar Water If We Didn't Have Anything To Drink Yes I Did Get Full Well Just About .

Do Y'all Remember The Curfew Time ? 😂 When The Street Lights Come On Every Child Would Be In The House And All The Grown Ups Would Be Outside . I Would Hear Nothing But Loud Music , Arguing , And Gun Shots .This Was Almost A Every Night Thing . We Didn't Have A Tv In Our Room Yea I Did Say Our Me And My Brother Was Sharing Rooms At The Time I Use To Hate It . I Would Sit Listening To Music Thinking 💭 Wishing Man I Can't Wait For Me To Get Grown. Now I Wish I Never Said That . While My Brother Tony Would Play With His Cars And Break All My Baby Dolls Use Them To Build Things For His Cars .

Once It Would Be Time For Bed Every Light Tv Game I Mean It Would Be Pitch Black In The House . But Still Could Hear All The Grown Ups Outside With All That Noise . I Would Sit Up Peeking My Head Out The Window . I Mean I Couldn't Make Myself Go To Sleep So Why Not. This All Went On For A While The Same Routine Everyday Untill This One A lot Of Things Started To Change in My Life .

One Day After School Me And My Brother Got Home And All The Lights Was Off There Was No Food And Also The Water Was Off . My Mom Wasn't Even At Home . She Had Left For Days So I Had To Take Care Of My Brothers And Baby Sister . It Was Hard But I Figured I Knew What I Was Doing . We Did Have Family But They Stayed Way In Atlanta And I Didn't Even Know There Number Nor Did We Even Have A Phone . My Grandma Was Too Sick To Take Care Of Us . So It Was All Up To Me . This Went On For Like Two Weeks And My Mom Finally Came Home . Only She Wasn't Her Self She Barely Could Keep Her Eyes Open . Couldn't Even Walk For Real . So I Helped Her In The House Into Her Room Laid Her Down And Continued Be The Parent While She Was Sick . Well That's What At Lease We All Thought Was Wrong . She Stayed Home For Like A Good Week Then Would Leave Again .

Untill One Day While At School Some Lady Came To My Class And Got Me . I Was So Scared I Wouldn't And Was Not About To Go With Her . Only Because She Was A Stranger I Was Also Told Never To Go Any Where With A Stranger . When I Seen The Police I Straightened Up And Finally Went With Her . When We Got To The Destination We Was Put Into A Room Full Of Toys . We Even Had Presents And It Wasn't No Where Near Christmas. We Didn't Care Tho . While We Were Playing This Tall Lady Walked In . She Looked So Mean But She Was Very Nice . She Sat Down And Played With Us But Was Also Asking Question About What Was Going On At Home And Stuff. I Didn't Answer Any Of Her Questions Tho Because I Kinda Knew Was Was Going On . They Then Pulled My Brother Out Of The Room And Asked Him And Got All The Details And Info They Needed .

It Was After 2:30 And I Started To Cry Because I Didn't Want To Get In Trouble Because My Mom Didn't Know Where We Was And I Knew If We Didn't Get Home At A Certain Time We Was Going To Get A Real Bad Whooping For Having Her So Worried . Two More Hours Passes By And We Were Still There . I Finally Got Too See My Mother But Not Only Her My Auntie, Uncle, Granddad, And Grandma . They All Were Crying Giving Us Hugs And Kisses But Still I'm Confused . We Then Was Taken By A Lady Put Into A Car Driving Away From Our Family And The Building Where All The Toys Was  .
