Heroes

What does it even mean to be alive? Does it simply mean your heart is beating? If that’s the case then yes, I am alive but my father once told that to alive means to be living life to its fullest and enjoying every second of it. He’s dead now, my mother as well. I used to feel alive, when they were still breathing but now there’s a void in me. I used to smile and laugh, even when there was no reason for it. They’re passing has left me empty. I have no one left now, as I was an only child. I’ve been at my aunt’s now for a week now and I don’t understand how she and my dad are siblings. She’s a drug addict and is never home whereas my dad was a successful business man who was high off of life itself. But I won’t be here for much longer. I’m being sent to a boarding school is the U.S. because frankly, she hates me and I’m getting in the way of her “business”.
