i sit here every night for weeks.
and all i can think is how much i miss my family.
when i had them all the time i never realised how important they were…
but i miss them everyday…
my mum and my dad
my sisters and brother
and my dog…
i long to go home and sleep in my own bed, just to open my eyes and see my room around me.
almost every morning i wake up in momentary confusion at where i am.
always expecting to see my room. and always being wrong.
you think after years youd be used to it.
i watch everyone else doing ‘parent child things’ that parents and children do
*most parents and children do*
i want my parents to come to parent teacher interviews
and watch me play sport on the weekends.
make me dinner when i go home, and tell me off for not helping to clean up afterwards.
help me with my homework and encourage me to try harder, people who who want me to get somewhere in life.
but instead..
i taxi to games, wait in the cold for a taxi back.
i eat whatever slop is served for dinner
if i dont understand my homework – i just dont do it. nobody stops me. nobody helps me.
and in turn i get somewhat hassled and disliked by the teachers.. my future will be dim after i fail my exams.
and so, you might say MLIA
