My mother used to be my educator. My mother taught me I was worthless. She wanted me to feel that I was the culprit of the demolition of her life. I am broken emotionally and scarred, being pushed and slung around. I had no willpower, deriving from no role model to stand beside. Here, I felt nothing of trust, hope, or love. I had no sense of direction, and my place was on the floor inside of a closet, clutching my knees closer to my chest. I felt hot. My face and hands were flushed, while hate-filled blood rushed to my head. My nose burned as if underwater, and my eyes teared up. I felt in despair trying to keep my emotions concealed-- feign composure. I felt queasy. Uneasy. Frail. Inadequate. What can I do? I hate this feeling: the hand of a madwoman, the harsh whips from the belt of a man, the lies of those that pretended to support me.. I was being pulled into quicksand, surrounded by negative emotions and rugged, wretched people.

I've been sitting around thinking about this far too long.
Long enough that my mother is no longer around. 
My name is Scarla, and I don't want this to be the only thing I let define me.
My name is Scarla, and I want to live.
