FIVE years of torture.
five years of anger
five years of bitterness
five years of sorrow.
I dread today but sadly it has come and can't escape.
I am going to a place where all my problems started.
where all my pains surfaced.
it's time to face them. My demons.
.
"Mommy" I hear Genie's voice and I snap out of my reverie.
I am standing outside as I watch the pretty flowers bloom.
I was once like them, struggling to survive but I've in the end we sprout beautifully despite all the changes we had to go through.
"Yes baby" I say kissing her cheeks
"Daddy said you're leaving for work. is that true?" she asks and I nod.
her eyes twitch.
something I'm used to by now.
my Genie is everything that I ever wished for.
I loved her for everything.
she'll be five in a few weeks and she's really smart for someone her age.
