The weather is nice today.
The wet grass seeking through my huge black hoodie as I lay here staring up at the branches crash against each other. The wind dancing along side the tall green grass.
My body hurts. My everything hurts.
I can't help but to smile, as the sun beams through the trees tops and shine down onto me. Like Heaven's not so far away. Maybe one day I'll be able to go there. Maybe one day I'll be able to laugh along side the angels.
"Star? Star where are you?" I hear Tawana call my name, she's watching my little sister and I again today like she always does whenever my mother isn't here.
"Star! You better get your little ass out here right now!" Tawana screamed. I'm scared of her, not because she hurts me but because she can hurt Snow, my little sister.
"Coming!" I hollered now standing up. I'm shaking. My fear going throughout my body. Tawana's going to punish me again...
"Star! I told you if I let you miss school today, you would have to play the games with me!" Tawana shouted now taking a hold of my small bony arm.
"B-ut I didn't want to miss sch-ool..." I stuttered out, not meeting my eyes with hers instead I stare at my bare dirty feet. I hate not wearing shoes. She takes them away from me, because she says this way I won't be able to go far from her.
"Oh shut up, brat" Tawana slaps the back of my head and I fall to the ground face first, lucky my hands took most of the fall. The rocks cut deep in my finger tips. I'm use to the pain, this is normal to me.
"Please don't make me play the games with you." I start to uncontrollably sob out the words. She then takes a good handful of my black hair into her hand, pulling me up.
I try to fight back, kicking my legs. "No!" I scream, but her strength far surpasses mine.
"Stop crying! You're going to make people think you're retarded!" She shakes me roughly, making my head spin. The world is now turning in circles and it won't stop.
She picks my tiny body up over her head and throws me onto the ground. "I said shut up!" She screams into my face and I lay there motionless, now staring pass Tawana, over here head up to the trees. Looking up at the sky where Heaven is.
Heaven take me away...
