"You don't have to be tough every minute of every day. It's okay to let down your guard. In fact, there are moments when it's the best thing you could possibly do." - Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
Jordyn's POV
Dear Journal,
My usual day started. I woke up at 3 in the morning, and started doing Ms. Langston's work. After a few hours, I got ready for the day, tried as hard as I could to wash away the pain and sorrow I have every morning from this place. I walk to school early for basketball practice, and then I go on with my day. I stay at school until 5 to deal with all my other activities, and then i walk back to Ms. Langston's house. Usually, I would return back from school and continue work for Ms. Langston, but I was done, I'm done. Everyone is expecting me to always be ok, but that's hard. Its hard to be ok all the time, when, you're an orphan whose parents took a look at you and decided that they didn't want you.
"Are you OK?" asks one girl on the sidewalk who walks to her home in front of school. "I'm good, just tired after the day I've had." I then turn into the nearest neighborhood and go around so she doesn't have to see me walk so much. I just wanted to go to that girl, and cry. I wanted to rant, and say that I'm not OK, because I have bruises all over my body and they hurt and that I don't want to live with Ms. Langston, but I want my friends. I'm done. I'M NOT OK.
