Hardship

It's been twenty years since my father spoke. Twenty years since I saw him smile. Twenty years since I saw him walk. My mother left when I was 2. She couldn't stand the thought of being with a now poor man who will never walk again or fight to give her the life she wanted. She left. She didnt look back. Since then, I had been in 3 foster homes, but eventually made the decision to come back home at 18. We live in a small old dance studio. It's great because I love dance. It's been 4 years now. Life is rough. Every day I watch my father sit by the window looking outside and stare out the street. The only sight is an old park with warm out swing sets. Oh and as for me? my bad! I'm Rocky!
