ROSES ✔️

Sended off

The atmosphere was tense while my father thinks of a way to punish me. The only sound I could hear was their breaths and the sound of my beating heart. Like a drum beating so loudly I'm afraid it can be heard outside, it hurt. Not only my face but also my heart.

"I have decided to send you off to grandmother's place"

My eyes were wide as saucers and I could hear some gasps around me. The only thing tha lt I can understand is I'm going to be send off, to my grandmother who is quite a strict old woman. She lives miles away from us and is still healthy she can beat you with her stick. I was afraid of her when I was a child but now, I don't know.

I don't know what to expect.

"But grandma's been away for miles. Are you really sure about this Marcus?"

Uncle Robert ask father while he nodded, eyes filled with resolution. I believe I can't plead anymore. I was already sentenced and opening my mouth will just drift things apart more.

"How can you do this to your daughter? It's just drugs and I mean everyone takes them. She hasn't gone overboard I mean sh-"

I tug Richard as I motioned him to stop. Things will just be difficult and I just wanted to rest now.

"What do you mean by that Richard? Are you using it too? See, Rose! You will influence your cousins in a bad way and even your sister if you didn't stop this addiction! All you've done was troubles and like them up and now this! Are you really my daughter? Your mother is already dissapointed at you, I can't believe it we've raised you in a good way but you turn out to b like this?! H-"

"How could you say that?! You don't even know what I've expe- . You don't know me. You never even bothered to check on me, hell I never really have thought of you as a father. You know why? Thanks cause you failed on it!"

I was furious too, angry was an understatement and it takes all the force on me not to blurt out the things I wanted to shout at them. How they should have listened and tri d to see the signs. How they should have noticed my indifference to "him".

And especially, how they should check o up and ask what I'm experiencing.

Yet they shut me out. Forced me into nothingness and pretend that I'm nothing, not an existence they know of.

I was a stranger to them but yet, they treated me because of what they see outside. They could only see a brave and rebellious teenager not the hurt and torn rose. They cant see last my barricades.

Did I really build a high wall that they can't seem to break it?

Or do they just don't care and decided to cast me out due to my personal and harheaded personality?

My uncle and some of our realtives gather around my father. They tried to convince him not to send me away and some, let's just sya added salt to the wounds. The crowd dispersed about some time and I was ushered out. I was left alone in my room with no one to talk and no one to comfort me.

The darkness swallows me up again and this time, I didn't shy away from this but instead embrace it.

Darkness is the only thing that haven't left me yet.
