Brought into this world as a fruit of Love. Given an identity and a home to live in.
Nurtured by a family and people that care. She will grow up to be their pride.
4 years into her life, her parents forget their vows, for practicing them was never considered a priority.
And soon the nightmare of this girls life began although she could make no sense of anything.
The two people who introduced her to this world were now willing and able to throttle each other.
And such a sad sight it was for all loved ones to see... this beauty of a child being stained by her creators.
It wasn't long before she was forced to say goodbye, to the man of her heart : her dad and first love.
Still unaware of what was happening, too young to understand, she said bye like it was just until tomorrow.
And tears rolled down a mothers face, to know that this was something she couldn't save.
To know that she just gave in, to know that not only has she changed her own life forever,
but also that of this little beauty. She has sent away from her, a strength,
a security and mostly the only man who would care for her like no other.
Many years from then, this angel came of age, single parented and now understanding of it.
And now her life was beaming with aspirations and dreams.
And with an enthusiastic teenage heart and the strength of an independent woman,
She was ready to face the world like nothing could come in her way.
But no one said her life was easy, without a dad, who would protect her?
With just one parent, how does a family look complete?
Many a times she sat and pondered... was my life not considered when the divide was done?
If this was for my good, then how is it that I only feel bad about it?
A fruit of love turned into the reason for 'love' changing to 'hate'.
Can she blame herself? and if not, who's responsible?
She feels like the one left out of this FAMILY decision.
Questions cannot be stopped from filling her mind although she keeps space for what keeps her going.
And maybe she doesn't allow all of this to get in the way of her goals.
Maybe she wraps these thoughts in a box and stores them to take out when shes got nothing better to do.
But the fact remains that shes scarred, that a stain has been left on her heart, an empty place is found in her being.
And no matter what she will always carry the burden of being the forgotten child.
