Bullet Proof

As a Child

I feel like life has cheated me. Like I am worthless and the world does not need me anymore. Why me? I remember when I was younger and my mum comforted me when I was feeling isolated and as if stranded on a desert island. She’d always make me feel better no matter what: I knew I’d always have her, and she would always have me; we were inseparable. This was however, before things changed. We were both stuck in the middle of a terrible car crash, she never made it and the doctors said I was lucky to have survived with only a few broken bones, but that was the day everything changed… the day I had to fend for myself.
