Unnoticed...

by Splashley   Jul 7, 2009


She walks to school and everyone stares. They judge her for every little thing. She wears jackets to hide the cuts and bruises. She makes it through school still unnoticed and alone. She goes home but for what? To get beaten and abused some more each night? "oh well" She says. "It's life... Things happen". Her step-dad walks in.. Drunk as usual.. He beats her all through the night. Nobody seems to care. She's silently screaming but no words escape her mouth. She takes the pain. She tells herself she deserves it.. But.. Does she? She climbs into bed.. Bloody and bruised. She takes her razor. She's crying her heart out. "Nobody likes me".. Cut... "I'm imperfect".. Cut... With every little thing she thinks of, she cuts herself more and more. Blood covers her arms and legs. There's no more room to cut on her body. She doesn't do it for attention. She couldn't care less about that. She doesn't want anybody to feel sorry for her.. No.. She does it because it's the only way to relieve pain and express how she feels.. "why" She thinks. "Why do I get beaten while every other kid gets to live their PERFECT life being "popular" and never has to worry about self harm.. "why"? She cries herself to sleep like always. The next day she wakes up to find a woman standing beside her bed. She said her name is Marcia and she's from the Department of Human Services (DHS). She grabs her by the arm and pulls her out of bed. She looks at her body.. All the cuts, all the scars, all the bruises.. Marcia says "I can get you help" The girl pulls away "I dont need any help, I'm fine on my own. " Marcia pulls out her cell phone and walks into the hall. She came back in the girl's room a little while later. They walked into the kitchen to find the girl's step-dad gone and her mom crying her heart out. Her mom screams at her "how could you? How could you tell them such.. LIES!!?? You're nothing but a worthless piece of crap!"
"I didnt lie mom.. He abused me, he RAPED me mom!!"
"He didn't do such a horrid thing!"
"How would you know?? You were never home!!" The conversation ended there. After 10 minutes of silence, a car pulls up in the driveway. "Go pack your things, you're leaving" Her mom says. The girl runs into her room and shoves all her belongings into boxes and bags. "I'm going to make this new house my home.. I have too.. I'm never coming back.."
2 YEARS LATER...
She's crying.. She finds a razor and makes progress. "This is my new life.. This is destiny" She goes to school... But for what? She's still Unnoticed...

Welcome to MY life...
The little girl is me and everything happens to be true...
