The sharpness of the blade pierces through my heart, I wonder why life is hitting me so hard, my life is now like a caged animal trapped in a bar without the hope of escape, I try to speak out but no one is willing to help me, I could not see any gleam of hope, the pain is too much for me to bear...
I was a child born with a silver spoon, My father was one of the richest men in our society, he has a lot of properties, he own a very big company with a lot of workers, he got married beautiful woman which is my mother and it was indeed a happy family that everyone will ever pray to have. I was the only child of my parent, they do everything in their power to satisfy all my needs and wants, I never lack everything, I guess all this was done because I was the only child. Despite the fact I was pampered, that doesn't stop them from smirking at me when I do something wrong, so I'm not a spoilt child.
One day my mother called me and asked me what I will love to become in the future, " I will become a lawyer when I grow up " I answered, she smiled and told me " My daughter, I believe you know what is best for you and whatever you'll become in the future, you'll have to start working towards it now, you have to work hard to achieve your dream" I listened to her carefully as advised, I never knew that will be my last conversation with her, I was... I came back from a lecture that afternoon and I saw people gathering in front of our house, I could not understand what was happening, I rushed inside, I saw my dad and I could see sorrow written all over him, I asked him " Dad what's happening here, where is my mother?" Then they broke the news to me that she had a car accident and she was rushed to hospital but she did not survive it, I could not believe what I'm hearing " No, I could this happen to me, the mother we spoke together in the morning " I cried till tears could no longer come out from my eyes.
Life without my mother was very hard for me, my father is not always around, but he makes sure that I'm living fine, so one day my dad decided to marry another wife to take her to stay with me, but everything work out against me. She married another wife and I accepted her as my stepmother, but my experience with her has been the worse I've ever seen, she would punish me for what I did not do... there are some days he will starve and I will have to go to bed with an empty stomach, my father is not always around and I find it difficult to tell him everything that has been happening, he even threatens to kill me if I tell him anything, so one day I ran out from the house when he's trying to hit me with a big stick, I don't even know where I was running too.
It's late already, and I don't want to go back home, I sighted a church and I think that will be the only Sanctuary that will save me tonight. I find it difficult to sleep, but I was later carried away with sleep, I woke up in the morning and I was feeling hungry, I was just wondering on the street like a lost sheep, suddenly a car parked bedside, it looks like my father's car, but perhaps I think not only the one using the car, the person wine down the glass, behold it was my father, I was shocked but happy at the same time, he asked me what happened happened and I narrated the whole thing I've been passing through from my stepmother.. my father felt sorry for and he promised to always be there for me. He drove me home that day and asked my stepmother to leave, that he will be there to care for me... ever since then, I have been the happy me again, but I still miss my mother.
Thanks for your time
