Neglect

March 5, 2014
By Anonymous

I was 5 years old and already had a hole in my soul
My mom was always out on the streets doing drugs and not caring about me.
I felt so alone even though my grandma was there to comfort me
I was 8 years old and had a superior hole in my soul.
By then my grandma was my guardian

It was my b-day I turned 8 my aunt threw me a party
I was happy with gifts.
Over my great-grandma’s house my mom was upset
She tried to kill herself I was tramatized
Im 14 now my mom still tries to feed me lies
It hurts so bad to be on high hopes
I’m traumatized and I have an open wound that will never hill from neglect
