Mending.

I'm 18,
and I can tell you my life hasn't been easy.
By the time I was 9 I could run a house.
I'd clean the Kitchen, clean the living room.
I could even make a 3 course meal.
By the time I was 12 id lost, my Gran.
She was my rock, I was never not by her side,
when we could visit her.
I was lost, I was broken.
I am so distant from my emotions,
As my mother would work so long,
and my dad, was always drunk,
I'd do everything,
and for no reason I was hit.
Me and my Brother's.
I was bullied to points I was mentally torn,
I'd stay in doors for days on end.
But I'm mending now, I've been cheated on, too many times to count and I am always so scared to be alone. I'm always scared to tell my story as people just leave. But I'm mending, I look upon all that's happened in my life, and I won't do it all again if I could. as all of these things stated would have crushed majority of people.
but I am grateful.
I am who I am today because it.
I am the gentleman I am today,
because my mother shaped me.
She taught me all I need to know.
My mother is my father as well.
She means the world to me.
I can't imagine growing up without her.
This was long and I know, but now you know more about me.
Now you know why I write.
Thank you.
