Almost every night, I cry myself to sleep. 
Almost every day, I am reminded that I am not loved.
Almost everyday, I am made fun of.  
Almost everyday, I go through an emotional night mare.

I can't escape because my tormentors.  The very cause of my night mares, live under the same roof as I. 

They are my brothers and no matter how much I try to avoid them, I am always the target of their abuse. 


Family Again

There I was, sleeping peacefully, having a wonderful cotton candy filled dreams, and then it happened. My two idiot brothers decided to wake me up by screaming the happy birthday song in my ears . 


"Couldn't you have waited until I came downstairs?" 


"Where's the fun in that ? " Adam laughed . "you should have seen your face . " 


He tried to imitate my face by widening his eyes and making a shocked expression . I do not look like that . 


I was grateful. It was sweet of them, but I'd just woken up, I was grouchy. 


"Can you two get out now ? I want to go back to sleep." 


" No can do. You have to get ready for your party ." Jayden piped in. 


" My party starts until later this afternoon." 


" What time do you think it is ?"Jayden asked. 


I looked at my clock and gasped. It was already one pm. How did I sleep this late ?!
