Little Secrets

"Sometimes someone hurts you so bad, it stops hurting at all. "

" I was abandoned with my brother when I was four. I still remember that day. It's clear. I try to wipe it from my memory, but it sticks to me like thick, sticky glue. It's as if someone's come with a permanent marker and scribbled everything that makes me a person. No other child has seen what I've seen. No one understands. No one listens. When you tell them that you were beaten from the second you were born, they laugh. When you tell them that words have scarred, they have no sympathy. When you tell them that you're scared for your future, they walk away. People think I'm perfect. Well, I'm not, no matter how much you want that to be true. This is my story."
