Give this woman a book deal ... She writes 1000x better than most authors

Well, for me, words didn't matter, because, I didn't know any words and yet when I was putted here, I already knew I had to be something. No dreams, no aspiration, just " you are going to be this ... "

" You are going to be a man to your mother and you are going to help her out, whether you like or not. You are going to be a child in a adults world, so, you won't be spending time with anyone your age, because, all you will ever know are adults. You are going to be bullied from the get go, because, you won't have social skills. You will have a uncle and a grandmother that will help you, always, so take care of them. You will be a man that women don't want to be with, because you are just too soft and you believe in doing the right thing for them. You will struggle most of the time with things you even didn't do, but, you were just there to begin. " These were not words, these were the realities i fell in.

As i journey, now in the big 4-0, all i ever see is hurt ... Hope is a battle, love is just a weird concept that i can't figure out and silence is all i have with me ... Words are not spells, the true spells are beyond the veil of the words. They are the unspoken things that exist to not to us, but to everything else. The words are just means to equate what is ... Nothing more.
