"I took a deep breath and I listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am." - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar In an afternoon in November, I came into the world although at times I feel as if I regret this. This is a memoir about my life; the good, the bad, and the ugly. You see, I grew up with my dad being an alcoholic, and two older sisters who would never stop fighting. I grew up with the idea that fighting happened in each and every family, and that every family was secretly broken at the seams. It took a long time for me to learn the truth, and by that point I discovered that I already have deep trust issues. I decided to share my story because I think it is important, and I want anyone who has gone through any of these same things to realize that they are not alone as I had felt.

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.
