Dear, You,I know this is a lot to take in but, don't give up. You've been abused, tormented, damaged, lied to, and all your life you've been told there's a reason for it all. 16 years ago nothing but pain gave you hope that the end was the only happiness you could receive, but, it's not the end that brings the happiness. Its the beginning of learning the real you. Dear, You,I know everything you've been through makes no sense at this moment, but I'm here to remind you that hope was never your burden, but your prize. Stay strong you, because I believe something beautiful can come out of this. yes, its true! I hate your smile, your laugh pisses me off because you don't deserve to be happy, your personality brings me to tears because your not yourself anymore, I hate how insecure you are because your beautiful and it kills my soul to know that at one point you were gonna commit suicide just because you didn't wanna believe you are beautiful. I hate your life!  how your mom kicked you out with absolutely nowhere to live. I  hate your sister for treating you like trash and hitting you every chance she got. I hate your dad for abandoning you,  and your stepmom who took you in and helped you when you didn't want her help. But I can't help but state that the fact that you're the one I hate the most because it's all your fault you. You're the problem. You could have been more respectful to your mom, but instead, you laid your hands on her. You could have made peace with your sister, but no, your gonna provoke her, now ya all surprise when ya become her damn punching bag. You could have forgiven your dad. But you're too selfish, too greedy, that you had to destroy his relationship, ruining his one chance at true love. and your stepmom, you owe it all to her, because without her you wouldn't be you. Dear, You,This world doesn't revolve around you, everybody has a story, some are worse than yours! Today as your reading this, A little girl probably just lost her father, A teenage boy might have just watched his mother get raped and an innocent man could have just beaten an innocent women to death to protect his family from a drug dealer who threatens to kill his wife and kids. listen ....you have it easy  Dear, You,Your mom and dad are well, your sisters and brothers love and accept you,  you've made honor roll this year 4 times in a row, your at the top of your class, your dad and stepmom are getting married, you and your sister gotten close, your biological mother has forgiven you, and nobody has beaten, raped, or rejected  you. Dear, You,YOU ARE ME AND IM HAPPY TO SAY YOU DID IT!!!!!Sincerely, Aliyah Metoyer
