Reader, think carefully about your life. First remember that argument you had with your loved one, then remember the day you walked away. Then think about those failing moments, when you were crushed and left behind in the dirt. I can, and will, share your pain. It was once remarked to me that I have known enough pain in my life for one hundred people. Only at fourteen, after all, was I in a car accident which not only left me partially paralysed, but as blind as a bat. In a blink of an eye- or so to speak- my life was stolen away. The doctors believed that I would never wake up from the coma, but I was strong, for I had faith in myself. Life since has been determined to hold me back, but I have fought to achieve what I want in my heart. Delve into the realms of darkness and read the words I have etched onto this page- if you dare. You may find, amongst them, the glimmers of love and happiness which I have discovered after what seemed an eternity. So read on.

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
