Does hatred last a lifetime ?

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King JR.
----------------------------------------
Darkness is the only thing I see, All my life I been hiding in a basement. My parents locked me away , they even closed out the little window in the basement so no light would come in. I haven't been outside since I was a baby all I do is lay down and do my homework since I get home-schooled. I never understood why I was locked away while my siblings are allowed out in the open. I have eight siblings only one of  siblings sneak into the basement to hang out with me. That one sibling is my brother Antwan, every time he comes downstairs it so much fun he is the only one that cares about me.

He always tells me one day i wont be stuck in here i will actually get to live a normal life . Which i always dreamed of,Antwan will always try to sneak in food every time he goes out to dinner with his girlfriend. But my parents always catch him and he gets into deep trouble main reason he gets in trouble is because none of my siblings are allowed to come downstairs to visit me, But Antwan still risk getting into trouble just so i wont be bored or feel unloved.Also he gets in trouble for trying to sneak in food for me. Antwan always comes down and talks to me about school, drama , movies, girlfriends , his friends Etc...

Sometimes I have so much hatred towards him because he isn't locked away from all his siblings, friends just about everything he gets to do. But I promise myself one day I will walk out of this basement without getting caught and never looking back ! Down here is like hell I don't even have a cellphone my brother always show me his cellphone he said that's how he talks to his friends he also showed me something called Instagram where you post pictures so other can see.Oh and he showed me this one cool app I think it's something called Snapshot something like that . My birthday is in three days maybe I can ask Antwan to get me a cellphone. Maybe that will make it less boring being down in the basement all day long.

I sat in my bed just imagine how it will be on the other side of this door. Kahlani started day dreaming about how it would look, she put all the the things that she read from books and imagine it in the real world. Her walking outside where all types of beautiful flowers that surround the house. And walking into a building called school with a group of friends, having to deal with boy problems or what should she wear for school, or going to a mall, and going to the beach sitting in the sand getting sand between her toes and watching the waves washing back and fourth. Everything seem so perfect for her. Kahlani has gotten snap out of her thoughts when her brother enter the basement.

" Hey little sis your birthday is in three days " Said an over-excited Antwan.

" I know its nothing to be over excited about same thing every year stuck in this basement nobody but you comes sees me". I said with hurt in my voice.

" This year its going to be different I promise you that." Antwan said before exiting my so called room.

After Antwan leaving Kahlani he left her wondering what he meant by its going to be different this year.
