Broken promises

Tammy Tran

I have always been a frail person since the day I was born. So was my twin but he died before he was even born. And when I was born mommy became sick and frail. And when I was born daddy left us........

I have a big sister. When she came home from school we would play with each other. Since I was a frail child I couldn't play outside very often. But I was happy because I have mommy and sissy.

One day I waited for sissy to come home from school. I waited outside this time and some kids came and bullied me. They called me a freak. They kicked they scratched and pulled my hair. They laughed and pointed at me when I couldn't get up from the ground. I stayed there until my sister found me there lying on the ground. I had red scratches all over me and I had a bruise on my arm. She ran over to me and helped me up. "why didn't you wait for me inside?" my sister asked me. I told her "because I wanted to play outside with you today. But some kids came and beat me because I'm a freak." "your not a freak. Are you ok?" I nodded and smiled at her. "I have to stay strong so that you can take me to see the world sissy :D" I said. She smiled. "I promise you I will. Mom told me to protect you and to fill your life with smiles and happiness and that's a promise I'll always keep." my sister told me.

But that day was the end of our happiness..........

Because that day mommy died.

We were later raised by our uncle. He was mean and abusive. I was scared and alone. When I went to sissy she screamed shouting it was my fault mom died. If I was never born daddy wouldn't have left and mommy would've never fallen ill. She called me a freak. She slammed the door at my face. I'm sad. I'm only five. I don't understand what I did wrong. Why did mommy die? Why does sissy hate me now? Why is this my fault? Why was I ever born?

Will I ever see the world?
Will sissy ever love me again?
Will my life ever be filled with smiles and happiness like sissy promised?


No........
Because............I
Died.?..................
