Friends, my childhood was a roller coaster

But there was a wall at the end that was blocking the full ride

I would only be able to ride that one part continuously.

For a majority of my life,

You told me that,”I was “lucky” to have no brothers or sisters”

But i was in solitary all day

no one younger, older or even my age in my family group.

My parents only had one child—Me.

There were days i would sit alone in silence.

I would have to turn on the tv to have company.

My life was rough I was forced to be good.

No bad grades or bad behavior forced

on

    one

           Person

I would have paranoias

because my parents would tell me

How bad people were and how the world is

They would put the news on to show why it was great to stay indoors

So i wasn’t able to walk outside for a short time until I was 14

You would pick on me for things that i had to deal with

but it was just too hard to store away

                           You said,”I had a great life to be by myself and no sound

          That would wake me up in the middle of the night”

That was true, but I had to live in silence with all the lights on from being paranoid and keeping thoughts to myself because silence is a friend unheard.
