Silent Cries: My True Life Story

SILENT CRIES: The Life of Sherrie Cobb

As I set there my life flashed before me I wondered why I didn't have my real mother growing up I wondered why my grandma had to pass why was I raped WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED LORD WHY?!? If you can guess yea I still stayed with my child's father after everything I ended up pregnant again with our second child, he began to become bigger and bigger in the streets that meant more drugs being stashed and more money coming in. My house became a place where drugs revolved all night from sun up to sun down feins knocking from the front to the back door. I wanted out, but I was afraid, I started working and going to school I even reconnected with my family even though they didn't approve with my relationship at all. Time past my house started getting hotter and hotter more and more traffic the money was good, but I swear it wasn't worth it. See it came to reality that no matter who drugs they were MY NAME WAS ON THE LEASE. June 10, 2010 2:00 pm I remember it like it was yesterday I was just getting out of school ready to get dressed for work my two youngest kids was upstairs sleep the other 3 was gone. I walked in the door and caught an instant attitude I hated coming home. My child's father and his 2 friends were in the kitchen whipping up in the Pirex I instantly snapped GET THIS SHIT OUT MY HOUSE I STARTED SNAPPING I WAS FINALLY FED UP BUT WAS IT TO LATE? As I sat down on the couch in my Living room and stared at the window I saw them coming I was just to shocked to move. It's like my body was stuck in my mind I was running but, I was sitting still. All suited up they came to the door BOOM BOOM BOOM after 3 attempts with the boot they finally pushed the door down. GET ON YOUR KNEES HANDS ON YOUR HEAD. They all ran in at once their uniforms read SWAT TEAM... As I lay on the floor with this motherfuckers (police) foot on my back and shot gun pointed to my head all I could do was think about my two babies upstairs napping. HOW DID I GET HERE...?
