Can someone please word this better and maybe edit it a bit…?
It has been said, 'Time heals all wounds' i do not agree.
The wounds remain.
In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens.
But it is never gone. -Rose Kennedy
I have never heard of more truer words.
I am not your average 17 year old.
I work three jobs and attend private school due to a scholarship.
I live with my four younger siblings and my accoholic dad.
Since my moms death my dad has changed for the worse...
I love my dad so much and i know he misses mom.... but thats not an excuse.
I've spent six years raiseing my siblings.
Six years taking care of them and my sisters medic bills.
Six years of being beaten and abused by my dad.
Six years of hiding how i feel.
Of putting my siblings happiness before mine.
In the end I won't complete my dreams
Instead I will watch my siblings grow and accomplish theirs.
And that is what keeps me going everyday.
There are a couple things you should know about me
For example I love to smile even when im upset i try to smile and make everything okay.
I also love to read, and I am kind of a history nerd.
Oh and I hate being by myself, i am defintly a people person.
My siblings and I don't have middle names because our mom was Russian and a lot of Russians don't have middle names.
I am socialy awkward and i get embaressed really easily.
The times a feel the best are when i'm swimming or talking to my siblings and friends.
My friends don't know that my dad hits me...
Infact only two of my siblings know because they get hit too.
I try my hardest at school to get the best edjucation i can so one day i can leave.
I take all the extra classes and arts i possibly can.
In the end it will be worth it.
And maybe it will be better then worth it
But for now i have a Secret... A secret no one can know
Because if they do... my siblings will be taken from me and the abuse could get worst for them and myself...
