The Skin I'm In: New Problems, Old Scars (Urban Fiction)

Chapter 1

(Kalifa)

I remember when I was five years old, my mother spoke on stories untold

Standing in the kitchen, slaving over the stove

What I would give to feel my mother's hold, but instead I was left with painful memories

Ten years have passed and the thought still haunts me

At fifteen that's when he touched me, my mother found out then suddenly hushed me

We tried to run and the car got hit, 1 2 3 times it flipped

Turning and screaming at an uncontrollable speed, we suddenly stopped when we hit the tree…

I spoke to my therapist, Mr. Wilson. It was a request by Ve'Quell parents since they took me in. I mean, it's only fair that I agreed, they went out of their way for me.

I actually like coming to see my therapist, it's helps me get a lot of things off my chest.

"What happened after this Ms. James?" he asked.

Black, darkness, everything went black, the beeping sound it what brought me back

I called out, screamed, but no one heard me, I moved my hands and feet, but someone drugged me

I was laying down on a bed, when my vision cleared

I heard his voice, whispering in my ear, he said

"Don't tell anyone, ya hear?"

My eyes suddenly cleared, but I was all alone

I thought of my mother, hoping she wasn't gone

She is all I have left, I know she'd protect me

She never said goodbye, so I know it couldn't be

The doctors tried to pin me down, the only thing I wanted was my mother

I yelled and kicked but it didn't work, I think I spit on one of them like they were dirt

I regret that decision, I regret that day, that's where all my burdens lay

Or maybe that's when I was forced to pick them up…

"I think this is the end of this session, I'll see you next week. We can pick up where we left off." He gave me a reassuring smile. I stood up and left out the door, to be met by the one who has cared for me unconditionally. He took me in, baggage and all. He loves me, probably more than I love myself.

"Hey, how did it go?" He wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Great." We walked out to his car, then drove to the place we shared.

"I know you probably dont like seeing a shrink, but I think the ending result will be worth it." He said while taking a seat next to me. 

"Yea, me too." I smiled at him and he kissed my lips. Being with Ve'Quell has matured me in so many ways. I finally know what real love is, I'm glad we bumped into eachother...
