This is how I see myself. It's how others see me. I get it comes with hate and we have to deal with it but it's not a hate for me, it's facts. Oh my bad you're probably wondering who is this and why are they talking like this. Well my name is Normani Hamilton and I'm 14. Now you're probably wondering why I think like this and it's because i live in s Foster home with people who  make me feel like this. Those words are constantly in my head and no matter what. if I don't hear it at the home I hear it at school. I have been in  foster care for about 10 years. I came on Christmas night. Sounds like a fun Christmas huh. I remember I was bored and my parents left me at my auntie's house to go back to the house to get my Christmas presents that they have left but they never made it. A drunk driver ran them off the road and the car was destroyed with my parents in it.

Since no one was able to take care of me I was sent to the Angel's Foster Home. It was nice here at first but then the owner, Miss Jackson, found out I had $1 million in the bank and she couldn't have it, the abuse started to happen. From Age 5 to now she has put me in the hospital 19 times. I've had a broken nose, broken rib, dislocated knee ,and both of my arms broken. She also treats me like a slave. I cook and clean everyday. She rubs my clothes on purpose so when I go to school I get teased for everything. Nothing is great anymore. I've also tried to commit suicide 5 times and have been hospitalized. I stop when the beating got worse. I tried to tell people but no one ever believes me so I'm stuck here until a miracle happens.
