My mamma used to tell me that dreams always came true.   I found out that dreams could also be nightmares.   My mamma used to tell me that when you make a wish at 11:11 it will come true.  I figured out that wishes aren't always good.   My mamma used to tell me that wishing upon a shooting star, or the first star you see, would make your wildest dreams come true.   I figured out that wildest didn't mean good.  My papa used to tell me that nothing bad would ever happen to me.   I believed him, up until fifth grade.   When I was in a car accident.   Me. My papa. My baby sister.   I nearly died.   My mamma and papa used to tell me that nothing could break my spirit.   I still believe that.   You wanna know why?  Because I know that no matter what, even if I'm broken, I still have my mamma, my papa, and my brothers and my sisters.   My mamma and papa used to tuck me in at night,  Because I always started screaming because of the nightmares.   I found out that a wishbone breaking doesn't give you luck.  I found out that I'm broken.   I can't be fixed.   I'm not alone.  This is my story.   The Story of the Broken Girl
