Deep Rivers High Barriers

~One chance

      My mother used to tell me to "stay strong little lamb for there will be days when you must become a lion but don't loose sight of who u really are"...consistently as if she was trying to tattoo it into my brain I didn't understand then... why those words would bring me soo much comfort and strength in the future.

   It is my last year of prison (high school) and I can't wait to get out and finally live and be my own person. My group home is great and all but school is what really is annoying, I try my best to keep grade A point average but I just can't seem to understand stupid math, I always find myself with a C or lower on my final semester grades.

My social stand in school is literally non existing. I mean I could probably be one of the poplar kids I'm not all that ugly I just cover everything up with black pants and a casual hoodie. I like to avoid any unnecessary attention to myself as possible. I'm just trying to my do my part and obey by the law to stay in school for those 4 years.

   I lost my mother 6 months ago, she had been battling cancer for a while now and I envied her for holding on to life as long as she did. I know she's in a better place now but still it hurts me every day it's like a constant darkness around my heart... I kept up just the best I could at the age 17 but still we could barely pay the hospital bills we lost our house, my mom and me practically lived at the hospital and the rest of the time I slept in our car parked in front of the hospital some nights so people would think I had a home so nobody would get suspicious and call child services on me before she died. Most ppl find the hospital to be a scary place but I felt comforted by the nurses,doctors,vending machines and noises. My mother coded and was practically dead at least 7-10 times the whole time she's been here.. maybe that's why I'm comforted because I know the doctors are doing the best that they can and will never give up.

   It had always been just me and my mother. I never knew my father nor who he was or what happened to him all I know is that he had dark brown hair and bright blue green eyes, since my mother had blonde hair almost the color of straw more red tho and baby brown eyes. I knew I got my fathers eyes although my hair is brown,red and blonde basically the color of autumn. Now would probably also be a good time to say that my name is Autumn. I know..I know what was my mom thinkings but I actually kind of like my name.

  Ugh but the rest of my name is horrid I think at least...

                    Autumn Marie Evans ..
