Misery

Misery!

"Who do you think you are?" screamed my mother in frustration.
"I'm your daughter!" I said and gushed into my room crying.
Many things were coming up in my head..
'Why, Why does she do this to me?'
' Am i her daughter?, Why am i treated like a slave?'
Misery, one plain word to describe me!
I cry everyday in school which results me in getting bullied.
I get called disgusting names such as 'granny', 'stupid' and words i'd rather not even write, unbearable names i do not cherish !
I just have one faithful friend i can rely on, who advice's me to stand up and be courageous ! My diary!
The only thing on my mind "SUICIDE"
'Should i drink poison, Or jump off my building?
Life happened!
Next day in school= " why didn't u do your homework, your book is empty!" screamed Mrs.Miller, I couldnt reply since my class was laughing and giggling behind me. The only person i have is my diary, My best friend i tell everything to !
I went for therapy which was no help.
I hated school.I hated my parents.I hated life.
'My therapist encouraged me to stand up for myself, Be COURAGEOUS!, try to prove everyone wrong !
Which got me thinking, i wanted to become someone better!
First i got out all my book and studied, page by page, no breaks just work when suddenly i heard my mom scream ,
" Why don't we just give her away, anyway she's A.."
"Shhhh..." said my father " She can hear "
Which got me thinking, What did she mean by A..?
I really wanted to know but no one was going to come into the path of my goal !
I carried on and got above 90 for all subjects, Fortunately children stopped bullying me.
I ran home in such happiness to show my papers to my mother and also my success in becoming a better person.
She wasn't even bothered , wasn't even a bit interested.
When i realised the missing word . ' Adopted'!
