a-ban-doned

 I hate how you took us for granted. 

How you let everything we had gone through go to the garbage. 

All the times I was vulnerable with you. 

All the times you were vulnerable with me. 

Everything we've built up to that point, you didn't destroyed it. 

You abandoned it. 


With me trapped inside.

Family Dinamics

 He standed Infront of her and pointing his finger to her face said

"WHEN I GAVE HER TO YOU SHE HAD 2 SHOES, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER ONE?"

She standed there, below him, looking at the ground. The 1 year old baby grasping to her mother's hair, missing her little shoe.


The older sister (half-sister) adjusting the glasses her grandma gave her because she can't see at school and then she can't pay attention and that means she gets bad scores and that causes her sister's father to get upset and scream at her too, she adjusts her glasses cause she needs to see, she needs to find her baby sister's missing shoe.


"I'm sorry I don't know what happen" the mom studded, looking to the floor while he stands tall, at least 50 cm taller than her and at least 100 pounds heavier than her and his voice a thousand times stronger than hers, and her baby keeps waiving her foot without the shoe and grabbing her mom by the dress cause she wants to eat but baby is not hungry, baby it's just anxious cause she doesn't know why her dad is screaming at her mom in the middle of a restaurant cause she is a baby and she doesn't know her shoe is missing.


He sighs loudly and it's about to say something when his mother, the grandma interrupts him, tells him to stop it cause she is always telling him to stop it, what ever he is doing, she had always told him to stopped it but she knows as she says it that he never does, and she wonders when and how her son became this man that never stops, even when she is telling him to do it cause she is going to go look for the little missing shoe.


He lets go a frustrated sigh and keeps accusing the mother of his daughter of always being careless and always being useless and never paying enough attention even tho she is following with her eyes her oldest daughter who keeps looking for the shoe, even tho she keeps taking care of the baby even tho she can't ever go to the bathroom or eat or sleep properly cause their baby is just a baby and needs her mom.


But there's another actor who tried to stay away and detached of the situation but she can't fight it, the voice of her brother who was once a sweet kid had became her nightmare and the reasons she couldn't get a long with her mom, neither with their dad cause dad never taught him how to be a man cause he was too depressed to teach anything so her brother learn on the streets and her stuff kept disappearing and he would get back home high as fuck and would raise his voice at their mom and she would cry her lungs out "IF YOU THERE TO TOUCH HER ILL GET YOU IN FUCKING JAIL" cause he became violent and the love of their mother couldn't really let her see the man that sweet boy had become. So she looked away but clenching her jaw and her fists, trying really, really trying to stayed detached.


"It seems we can't find it" said the grandma finally, the older sister looking defeated, the mother holding the baby still looking to the floor, trying to hide the shame cause everyone eyes were on her and she thought about how he must be right and she is useless and careless cause she always ends up being scream at, by the father of her daughter, by her mom, by her dad and when someone raises their voice she becomes even smaller and frightened.


He takes the baby's backpack and walks out the door with the mom, the baby, the other kid, the grandma and the aunt walking behind him. 


And the baby kept waiving her little foot while the little shoe had always been chilling, inside th

e baby's backpack.
