TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

ALL THESE YEAR I STARED AT THE WALL THINKING OF MY PAST AND WHY IT WENT WRONG,

SO MANY TEARS SHED IN THE PAST THAT GAINED SO MANY FEARS,

I LOST WHAT I HAD,

I GAVE WHAT I COULD,

I TOOK WHAT I NEEDED TO SURVIVE,

I LOOKED AFTER THE ONE'S I LOVE FOR SO MANY YEARS,

AT NINE YEARS OLD I STARTED TO COOK I LEARNED ON MY OWN,

I LEARNED HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE SISTERS,

I CLEANED ALL I COULD,

I FEED THEM ALL I CAN,

I BATHED THEM THE BEST I COULD,

AND I SHELDED THEM FROM WHAT WE CALL THE WORLD,

I TECHED THEM THAT WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER,

I GAVE UP MY CHILD HOOD AND BECAME A YOUNG LADY,

I TOOK THEM OUT WHEN I COULD SO THEY WOULD THINK EVERYTHING IS OK,

SO MANY NIGHT I CRIED ON THE FLOOR ASKING GOD WHY,

AND SO MANY TIMES I CRIED THAT I WANTED TO GO BACK WITH MY DAD,

I TOLD HIM I WOULD BE A GOOD GIRL AND NOT MAKE ANY TROUBLE,

SCARED OF ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND PARTYING LIKE THERE WASN'T CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE,

ALL NIGHT I SAT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS MAKING SURE NO ONE WILL BOTHER MY LITTLE SISTERS AS THEY SLEEP HOLDING A BAT IN ONE HAND AND A LITTLE KNIFE IN THE OTHER,

I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR THEM SO THEY CAN HAVE A BETTER ONE THEN I DID,

AL THESE YEARS I HELD IT IN NEVER TELLING A SOUL,

HOPING THEY WOULD FORGET,

11 YEARS THATS HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SINCE THAT TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE,

I STILL HOLD IT IN MY HEART,

ALL THE PAIN I ENDURED, ALL THE TIMES I WAS SCARED BUT NEVER LET MY GUARD DOWN, 

NOW THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN AND NOW IT'S MY TURN TO FORGET,

I WANT TO SO BAD,

BUT THAT YEAR IS THE YEAR I BEGUINE TO GROW UP  AND BECOME MORE THEN A NINE YEAR OLD CHILD I BECAME A MOTHER TO MY SISTERS,

I GAVE THEM HOPE THAT TOMORROW WOULD BE BETTER,

I TOLD THEM WE WILL GO BACK HOME TO DAD,

NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO PAST,

AND THINK ABOUT THE PRESENT.....

THIS IS A TRUE STORY I WENT THROUGH IT BUT NOW I CAN LEARN FROM IT........♥........
