Not So Perfect After All.
January 22, 2009
My life has not always been easy.
We have been close to homeless, momless and, foodless.
Parents have not been the best.
They just get up and leave, it's for the best for all of our lives.
People think I am such a perfect rich girl.
To tell you the truth I’m not, we live off of a truck drivers salary.
See not so rich after all.
My family is not anywhere near perfect.
My days are very hard.
I am like a mother to my little brother.
I feed him and bathe him.
Sometimes I just comfort him when he needs it.
Some days I don’t even want to wake up.
Some days I just wish I could die, but I can’t.
I have to help my family and support my little brother
So am I still perfect after all?
