Still Breathing

Two people brought me into this world and because of this I was born already with a past and that, I could not change. Others would look at me and my friends and no matter how hard we tried we were always compared to our parents and punished for their mistakes. Each one of us had to fight to make our own person but, sometimes its only a magnifying glass that can see the truth. I know that I cant complain about the good times, the fun times, the old times or the fact that I have a house surrounding me and food on my plate but, there are times I cant forgive my parents for. The person they see is covering something bigger. It covers all the secrets, the lies and disappointments, It covers everything that makes me strong. Everything that makes me who I was meant to be.
